The EU didn’t force anyone to have the cookie banners. If the site only uses nessecary cookies - the kind you can’t turn off in the prompt - there doesn’t need to any prompts because that’s perfectly fine. The intrusive, obnoxious and deliberate confusing popups are from data harvesters throwing a tantrum because they can’t stalk you every waking second any more, and complying in the most malicious and disrespectful way they can. Cookie banners are nothing to do with the EU and everything to do with tech-bros.

It was pretty crazy taking my phone from the United States to the EU and seeing all of the notifications of how my data is being shared by "free" apps! It just goes to show that the saying "if the product is free, you're the product" is 100% true!
