If it took a banner for you to realize people used Google analytics or similar services, then the banner isn't helping you avoid it.

You should've been running a blocker already. I run third party blockers as much as possible, but these banners are just excessive and useless.

That's just plain false. I know many people, especially in the older, less technically literate people, who now systematically disable such analytics thanks to these banners – people who had never realised the real dimension of users tracking before this law.
