DNT does not have the

    GET /cookie-tracking/all/info
API call that GP suggested. Therefore, any DNT:"please track me baby one more time" values are legally invalid, because it could not possibly be an informed decision.

You can choose not to voice objection with DNT, but you can not give consent using it, and that's what these cookie walls are asking for.

(If you have a legitimate interest, legal requirement, technical requirement, or other ground for processing data while the user does nothing more than browse your website, an up-front banner to ask for consent is never required.)
