GDPR may be one of the best things that has happened to internet privacy. If websites wouldn't track your every move, they also wouldn't need to put up a cookie banner. In fact, the EU is the only power that actually puts up a meaningful fight against Facebook, Google and co's rape of the internet.

I think it's extremely arrogant of you to assume that laws like GDPR were just made a bunch of bureaucrats without "understanding technical details".
