I have had a prominent site with a cookie consent form now for over 2 months. The site is not able to be accessed by anyone , no matter from which country, unless they consent or decline to accept my site's cookies.If they decline, I produce a cookie free version of the site.
I was always anxious that the obvious percentage of people clicking back would affect my serps.My rankings have dropped a little so it maybe the case.
(I unistalled my google analytics for the site because google's privacy policy was incongrous with this website so cannot tell the amount my click back rate increased)

What I can be categorical about is that revenue has not dropped at all and has increased.
This comes as a complete surprise to me.
Perhaps shoppers are more sophisticated than first thought and welcome the upfront honesty
