The point of the article is not that banners are good; it’s that they would not be needed at all if websites didn’t share all the possible data about their users with hundreds of vendors.

Fun fact: the OP blog doesn’t display a GPDR banner.

But did it do anything? I get fingerprinted anyway. I'm geolocated anyway.

I'm a "deny all cookies" if it's an option, but I won't waste time on "customize".

Reminds me of 9/11 security theater
