Kill The Cookie Banner

Is there any other way to get that data? It's clearly about cookies but it's specifically about tracking cookies.

Sure but these are all the same thing as cookies.

And BYW, browser headers can even be a violation if it's determined that you are using them for tracking users in a way that violates ePrivacy demands.

It's still a cookies thing.

Browser fingerprinting is not cookies. Cookies are a very specific technical thing.

GDPR is not about cookies, and what data do you mean? The data about how you use the site, tied to anything they can identify you with?
