In Europe at least, the law doesn't forbid cookies or mandate banners. It's about tracking and informed consent. It turns out companies love tracking, massively use cookies for this, and chose obnoxious cookie banner dark patterns to request consent.

But there is not such thing as a "cookie banner law".

A law that leads to cookie banners -> cookie banner law. We all know exactly what I meant.

But yes on my personal site I solved the problem by not tracking visitors because there’s no need. General traffic numbers are good enough for me.
