You are talking about the ePrivacy Directive, not GDPR. Cookie banners has been a thing for well over a decade.
What you probably meant is the user data banners/popups you have to click on that are new since GDPR. They are not cookie banners, they are a different thing, calling them cookie banners gives people the wrong impression.
The fact that you mix these two makes it look like you don't understand what you are talking about here. Especially since you talk as if this was the only thing GDPR changed. The cookie law is stupid, but GDPR is not.
