Are "return visits" really a big concern? I don't care if a site tracks my return visits, as long as it's local and not via a hidden Facebook pixel, Google Analytics, etc. that will get added to their global profile about me.

Doesn't matter if you care. IPs have been ruled to be personal information and GDPR mandates that the collection of personal information requires informed consent — regardless of whether you use cookies or some other mechanism to do so.

If you don't care, switch on DNT and never see those banners again (assuming this ruling preveils).
