Cookies are especially important at Christmas. They taste good but it's best to bake your own. This topic is important but I guess it's so behind to today's fingerprinting that this whole topic is getting polemic.

I'd guess fingerprinting without consent is also illegal under these regulations, but may be harder to persecute.
GDPR doesn't say anything about cookies other than in examples. Fingerprinting, identification via IP, localStorage, all are equivalent under it.

"Cookie Banner" is an industry term, which is incorrect.

Yes that's the sad thing, they do not need cookies anymore.
