I feel for my European brothers and sisters these days. As an American, I hardly ever see these banners. Went to an EU country for work and... Holy cow. Y'all get these banners every site. How do you tolerate it?
Thanks to GDPR, we have a much more private web. /s
Yes, I think we're in a vastly better place, where there is a cost to doing bad things.
Good for Europe, they are just going to law themselves out of the internet. Up to the point were your ISP doing hops to send your TCP packet will be illegal unless you approve them sharing that info with all the shops.

(Also, the GDPR is not responsible for cookie banners)
The market responding to the law with billions of cookie banners was as predictable as prohibition leading to bootlegging.
And now the regulators are responding to it.[0]
