Hear, hear.

How many "accept all cookies" button did you have to press today?

Far too many.

Not, however, on Hacker News, because Hacker News isn't using data for more than actual functionality, and you don't need to ask permission in that case.

Please show me which part of GDPR mandates that banner.

As additional homework, you can also lookup malicious compliance etc. Or even the sibling discussion on how Facebook wants you to apply for a permission to opt out of their tracking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35383925

The banners proliferated after GDPR was instituted.

Privacy should have been promoted through technological means, e.g the EU could have funded development of fingerprintless browser technologies, zero-knowledge proof based identity verification, etc, instead of through bureaucratic regimentation of private interaction.

Same to you: Please show me which part of GDPR mandates that banner. Also, where the GDPR talks about browsers or cookies or gingerprints.
