About the cookie banners, I'm honestly not sure it's a regulation issue. For >90% of the websites the "reject all" option have no impact on user experience, so either everybody is breaching or the banner is useless in the first place.

Do you get prompted for the choice the next time you visit the website? Are they websites you need to log in to? Those are really the only user experience things that would be obvious in most instances — everything else is just pure data mining for usage analytics (::knowing wink::) and overt tracking. Some sites absolutely do not respect any of the choices, but that’s not the normal behavior.

Cookie banners usually refer to pre GDPR, where there is no reject, just info that site uses cookies. Useless info.
