It is not an EU law. Nowhere in GDPR are cookie banners mandated.

Actually big tech is to blame: https://killthecookiebanner.eu/



The cookie disaster is thanks to the ePrivacy Directive, which came before GDPR:

- https://www.edps.europa.eu/data-protection/our-work/subjects...

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Directive


we could have settled on privacy compliant tracking without cookies, which is possible or use browser preferences and respect those (which would be perfectly legal)
