They almost feel like a passive-aggressive thing at this point. There's no reason a cookie banner needs to be a modal dialog that blacks out the rest of the web page.

It’s like prop 65 posters warning about carcinogens in California. If people insist you warn them about something they are doing, you get around it by forcing everyone to do it for everything so people start ignoring them.

Who does "you" refer to in this sentence? A random business that doesn't like the warnings? How can that random business force everyone to do it for everything?

AFAIK GDPR requires that consent can be removed as easily as it was granted - where's the modal pop-up on every screen allowing me to revoke my prior consent and have their advertising partners delete any gathered data?
