The worst part is, there is no need to have cookie banner if you avoid unnecessary tracking.

Even today you go on websites and there are 20-30 trackers, often duplicating functionalality.

Or reCAPTCHA, Google Tag Manager or others.

You can get same level of experience and functionality without these tools.

Either by more EU friendly alternatives or simply by using none.

We often help customers stop using Cookie Banners for web analytics. Some end up ditching them altogether. There is almost universal agreement that it feels better to the user and more (yes more) data is visible for website owners.

I find it weird that the big "problem" is setting cookies on the visitor's device and not that you send all your visitors' data/stats and browsing patterns to Google...
