Why would you need a user identifier to block a consent banner? You don't technically. The website requires it because it is a shitty website.

It would be enough to have your browser store a cookie without personal information with { cookieconsent: "STFU" } or some variable in local storage. If the website respected that, we would be fine.

Personal identifiers are not needed and foul compromises aren't acceptable.
