I seem to recall that before the GDPR, cookie banners were basically a single "OK" button, annoying but at least usually floating near the bottom of the page. After GDPR. they became dark-patterned modal nests of unfathomable checkboxes and submenus.

I don't think it has made of jot of difference for privacy, but it sure has degraded the user experience of using the web.
