Websites have already been „done“ by the GDPR and the companies just implemented the measures with a clear malicious intent, bullying their users into compliance and blaming the horrible cookie banners they implemented on the EU.

Well I mean, it was implemented about as well as California Prop 65, which had the effect of printing “This product contains chemicals known in the state of California to cause cancer” on literally everything ever made.

Yeah, I was responsible for a moderately high-volume site, and getting it GDPR compliant wasn’t all that much effort. That’s because we’re not scumbags abusing our users’ personal information.

And yeah, the cookie-banners bullshit isn’t required, it was just passive aggression by sites butthurt that they couldn’t intrusively track their users so easily anymore.
