dickover — a modal panel, popover, or curtain presented by a website or app, deliberately obscuring its own content to frustrate the user with an unwanted, unnecessary, mandatory interaction; e.g. asking the user to accept “cookies”, subscribe to a newsletter, install the website’s mobile app, agree to terms of service, or anything else that the user couldn’t give two shits about.
As far as I know (and I’m not 100 % sure), no. You don’t even need to inform users that you use functional cookies. Most likely because these work for the person using your website, not against them (persisting the session, settings, and so on).
Those banners that include necessary cookies are all misdirection so they can make the whole more confusing.

I looked it up; you are right. Strictly necessary cookies do not need consent.
