    I hate cookie banners.

    The idea that these problems should be solved in a way that means I have to have a legal agreement with every webpage just for viewing is absurd.

    I don't make legal agreements when I walk into a shop, it makes even less sense on the web.

    The cookie banner situation is an administrative solution that sounds nice in legal terms, but where the practical impact I suspect for most folks is they don't get more privacy / more ability to assert their rights ... they are just annoyed and click around to make the thing go away.
