At my company’s site[1] we have a non-intrusive banner at the bottom which lets you agree or disagree to tracking cookies, or just ignore it and browse the site.

You don’t get served any tracking cookies until you agree.

This fulfills the explicit consent requirement of GDPR as well as the requirement for people to be able to use your site even if they don’t accept cookies.

We get much less analytics then we used to - many people just ignore the cookies bar, either knowingly or just because they don’t notice it. But it’s totally worth it.

I hope the EU starts fining non-compliant (i.e. 99% of) sites aggressively, specifically those that pretend to care about your privacy, but don’t really (“Agree” button only).
