If you find that as annoying to you as it sounds to me, then if you
really do want to accept all cookies, try

  $ lynx -accept-all-cookies 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)#Syntax'

If you don't want any cookies, then try

  $ lynx -cookies 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)#Syntax'
