This is nonsense. You can't just put any kind of cookie banner up and magically be in compliance. You'd still have to explain what kind of data is being shared with with parties and why. And you have to update your privacy policy to keep it accurate in any case!

In fact, many of the websites that have these obnoxious cookie banners are NOT in compliance because don't offer a simple and unambiguous opt-out option.

These cookie banners and cookie popups are intentionally made to be maximally annoying. That's not good faith behavior by companies. That's malicious and an attempt to get consumers to blame regulators for breaking their browsing experience. The worst thing is that some people totally fall for it!
