As a non-EU citizen that is affected by this, I find the entire idea stupid and they're annoying as heck. Every website I go to has a stupid cookie banner. It's beyond ridiculous. This should be a simple setting in the browser that I can override per site and never see a cookie banner again. This is a perfect example of government overreach done wrong.

Don’t track people solves the entire issue. Complain to companies who want to fingerprint and track you; those are the evil ones and the ones with overreach. Without that you don’t have to put banners.

There was the Do Not Track header. That the industry you're defending immediately used to fingerprint and track people

The law doesn't say anything about cookie banners. The blame for them lies squarely with the great amazing privacy-preserving and customer-loving industry of ours.
