Websites don't need notices if they're not doing anything shady or unnecessary tracking, and just about every cookie notices I see is going against either the wording or the intent of the law.

If they want to be annoying on purpose, we should blame them, not the GDPR.

So it's an effective law just not effectively enforced. Isn't that a distinction without a difference?
I'm not saying it's effective (yet), but if companies respond to a law by doing something very obnoxious and not at all required by the law, I point my blame at the companies.
