Actually from what I can see, checking US websites from Paris gives much less requests.

Compare the request map for CNN from

- Dulles, VA: 511 requests https://requestmap.herokuapp.com/render/200123_JH_ed7b9b27df...

- Paris, France: 77 requests https://requestmap.herokuapp.com/render/200123_87_39fdca38ac...

I don't know if it's for sure because of the cookies/gdpr law, but there is a clear difference, and that's a big win in my opinion.
