Just don’t remove it entirely, currently companies will at least pretend to comply.
bEFORE yOU cONTINUE tO gOOGLE sure is annoying though.
Please do remove it entirely.
I manufacture data about myself. Businesses want to collect this data for their commercial benefit and profit, without paying me. Cookie splash screens almost provide a method for this to happen legitimately, while still not providing me fair consideration.
Businesses should be prohibited from collecting user data, from taking value, without paying for it.
How could you enforce a ban on any kind of user data and how could such a compensation system even work?
A ban wouldn’t work, because data collection is endemic. The cat is out of the bag.
Compensation could work through legislation and a commercial structure that dictates how things should be bought and sold. In Germany, rent is decided by the local town hall (Rathaus) on a per square metre basis. Such a system is not without flaws, but it’s better than unfettered abuse by those who have against those who have not.
I don’t know where you have your ideas about Getman rent from but I assure you that, barring some rent-control, the German rental market is free.

Remove banners, just make the companies respect the browser setting.
