Continue with recommended features doesn't mean OK. You need to click the invisible "Save" button.
This is at houseplanshelper.com
Smaller settings toggle next time, diydoctor... </sarcasm>
TheMarySue does split the cookies to necessary and other categories but I can't find how to disable any of those...
And yeah, it does turn them all on without any indication that it does. You have to hunt the cookie policy in the footer and then click on "cookie settings" to get the same pop-over showing you that everything is turned on now.
The switches aren't very on-looking either.
This is malicious, sorry.
Dark pattern galore on jamieoliver.com! Options are disabled but I' willing to bet that if you tap on "Accept Recommended Settings" it's going to turn them all on.
You have to tap on the almost invisible "Close" link below the fold if you want to opt out.

I've seen so many evil patterns I can't rule out this being intentional. Unlikely, but what if?
All this time the popup is still nagging and eats half of your screen. I return to the previous page as I'm not willing to disable cookies altogether. Guess what was hidden under that popup (or scrolled conveniently away I don't remember)
#GDPRHallOfShame, of course
A little bit of swearching yields this helpful guide that tells you how to disable cookies altogether, after warning that this might break the website (the warning is not visible in the screenshot)
Wall of text that sends you to some policy documents
The story of consent, in four parts. It all starts with the usual popup
If you want to withdraw consent they redirect you to their standard contact form.
What are the odds that this contact form delivers email to /dev/null ?
You always have the choice yada yada. Then a single button.

bmw.gr gives you the choice to reject all cookies and then goes all passive-aggressive about it with popups all over the place so that you can "access all content"
