A website doesn't need to ask you for consent if the cookie is "strictly necessary". I'm not sure how those anti bot protections work, but I bet they made it fit the definition of a "strictly necessary" cookie.

I know. I don't want those stupid cookie banners. Hence my "dammit eu rules".

I created my own anti bot protection see https://angieguardian.org/. So basically all of them use cookies after you completed a pow or captcha. So next time you load the page it doesn't ask you again. Those cookies may expire within several hours until 1 week depending how the server/anti bot software configure them.
