Honestly, they’ve basically shitted on the intent of the GDPR last year when they started allowing sites to block users who did not choose to allow personalized ads as long as they had a “paid” alternative very few people are actually going to use. It was a perversion of what Google did, which was entirely different since they still allowed people to disable personalized ads and accept generic ads instead.
GDPR is great, but we all hate cookie banners

The cookie banner law isn’t the problem, websites don’t have to have one.
They only need to ask permission to invade your privacy.
Too bad nearly every website wants to.
There’s a firefox extension I still don’t care about cookies that deals with these.
Since firefox rolled out total cookie protection the risks to privacy are minimal anyway.
I’m applying for work on a lot of websites and I do use that extension. It works maybe 30% of the time. Less annoying, but still super annoying.
