My knee-jerk reaction is "cookie banners"

Every cookie banner is a middle finger to your privacy. The law says "don't track people without consent" and the data hoarders decided to respond by making your life as difficult as possible.

Most websites don't need cookie banners. They choose to make you suffer through them. Take your anger out on those websites, not on sensible legislation.

The intention was that sites would rather ease up on the cookies than force everyone to agree to them. Didn't really pan out that way
Cookie banners or GDPR consent banners are the embodiment of malicious compliance.
