If I genuinly feel a website is asking me for my consent on which data is stored for what reasonable purpose I have nothing against these banners/modals/etc.

This is however rarely the case. Most sites just add a cookie banner because they think this is mandatory now, the purposes for which they collect my data are still unclear and denying the usage is still often hidden behind dark patterns.

If you are only using functional cookies you should by my judgment (correct me if I am wrong) not need any cookie banner (of course a privacy notice is still needed). Or phrased differently: If you don't collect personal data you should not need to ask for consent.

So for those who really hate these banners: The solution is not to collect personal data of your users.
