These are generated by scripts e.g the popup for the guardian app will
be triggered by a script on the guardian website. You might be able to create custom rules in eg. uBlock to prevent them?

Or try an adblocking browser like Brave?
(I don't recall whether it handles this case - it doesn't handle the endless pestering from Reddit to open things in their app. That is bypassed in different ways - eg reading via teddit.net ).
It is possible the OP's browser is rejecting cookies, which will mean they get the 'hey, you're new around here' experience every visit.

Do you reject cookies? Then they can't save your settings.

It seems the only "cure" is to click on accept all & save which is of
course what is "expected" of you....

so do you not feel bullied and harassed that you have to keep on
clicking reject & save every 24 hours for each website you regularly frequent, and thay they just do not get the message?

Which actually seems to be in violation of various laws, at least if I'm reading https://www.zdnet.com/article/cookie-consent-most-websites-break-law-by-making-it-hard-to-reject-all-tracking/
correctly.
You could complain here: https://www.gov.uk/data-protection which *does*
have really clear cookie management buttons... Shame it takes about a
third of the screen.
