You're in luck since EU's GDPR is about informing users of PII harvesting and consent in general (among other things). So the banner is not only about cookies. And I think nowadays there are similar regulations elsewhere.

The last thing I want to see is more banners that don't actually do anything for your privacy. Let's be real, websites/companies will do whatever they want with your data, the banner is just for show.
