Singletrack actually pre-check "legitimate interest" on a number of those... which clearly shows they don't know what legitimate interest means.
Sadly they are not the only ones. Consent requests are done almost universally badly. I struggle to think of any publisher that does data collection and consent well, outside of those like you and also John Gruber at daring fireball who just don’t do it.

I've always liked my own approach to cookie consent, data protection and GDPR... just don't collect anything at all, simples.
Though we did have some outbound links to a few sites for a while that would add affiliate tracking that was done so via query string components and did not use any cookies or anything on this site... so things were only ever set it you followed the link, but then... things would be set at the destination anyway.
