You don't need cookie banners for IP addresses, so your whole example is completely wrong (who sets a cookie to store someones IP?). 99% of businesses that show a cookie banner do it to violate privacy. The remaining 1% didn't understand the law, thought they had to add a cookie banner, but didn't even have to. It's extremely intellectually dishonest to mix up logging and cookie banners, although that's about par for the course for anti-GDPR zealots.

I was referring to normal GDPR banners, not cookie banners. I didn't say anything about cookie banners in my comment. I'm not sure there's even much of a distinction, and my point holds anyway, because their are legitimate uses of cookies that non-privacy-violating businesses use.
