Cookie banners are usually from the same domain. I doubt you can block them via DNS.
That's exactly the problem. Parts of the cookie banner are from the same domain, but then other parts are from the advertisers domain. So blocking the advertiser blocks bits of the banner, meaning you cannot click on the banner, because it's just not letting you do so.
I’ve seen it happening over the last few days. The JavaScript used to control the cookie banner appears to be served from a domain that is blocked by my pi-hole, so I can’t click on the buttons to accept or reject cookies
Cookies are set via the HTTP headers. And the check is usually done locally by JavaScript. The headers can be stripped away via proxy. But unless you disable JavaScript outright (which will literally break most modern websites), you could hardly avoid those banners.
your post got duplicated, this is the 2nd copy
Try the "I don't care about cookies" extension

Thanks for the tip. I really loathe having to do tihs as it doesn't help mobile, but at least I can auto-sync across desktop browsers :/
Neat, I'll switch to this one
That looks great, thanks :)
