Worst case they could block your site, but that's not going to happen.

Note that if it is a personal website you are not subject to GDPR. GDPR only applies to companies and organizations.

Also note that most stuff that a layperson would say is reasonable for a website to function isn't a problem in GDPR.

You can advertise perfectly fine, just not track users to show personalized ads.

These were the norm in advertising until like 2005.
