Yeah, the annoying notifications are the visible part... but as far as I know, GDPR has a pretty serious impact if you're European. It allows you to ask private companies to delete your data, which to me seems like a pretty huge privacy win.

Implementation could definitely be a lot better, but I think it protects Europe from the privacy hellscape that's currently happening in the US.

The 'annoying notifications' are corporate choices that reflect on the companies that create them, not on the GDPR.
