Cookie banners are not mandated by GDPR. It’s an unrelated piece of law.

Cookie banners are completely unnecessary as long as websites only use cookies for technically necessary purposes (e.g. login). The problem is that a lot of websites want to sell your data to hundreds or thousands of other companies. So yeah, we could cut back a lot of red tape there if we just outright banned that sale of data completely.

A problem is that some sites that don’t need cookie banners use them anyway due to a poor understanding of the law and excess of caution.
