I routinely get a Samsung notification telling me to agree to some new agreement thing. I swipe it away. It just reappears in 48 hours or so. I swipe it away. We’ve danced this dance for years.
I don’t know what it’s for, I don’t care, and things are just fine as is. There’s nothing it it for me so, no.
I use an app specifically designed to automatically dismiss notifications and I use it to dismiss this Samsung one you mentioned and the voice mail notification, which for some ridiculous reason can’t be disabled.
This one: https://joaoapps.com/autonotification/ lots of features, somewhat confusing, but I literally only use it for the auto-dismiss, which works so well the notification doesn’t even appear so it’s effectively disabled.
The owner of Macrodroid has started cramming third party trackers into the app to cash out on it. When I started using the app a few years back, the Exodus privacy report for the app counted 2 trackers on the app, one for ads for the free version and one for crash reporting. Now it counts 30 of them, almost all analytics and telemetry. This is an insanely high number. Considering the amount of access and permissions Macrodroid needs to function, this is terrifying.

I use Macrodroid for similar notification handling shenanigans. I even bought it bc it’s so beautifully customisable 👌

ugh, thanks for the heads-up!
I legit got this notification on my phone while reading this comment. I do the same and will continue to do the same.
