You’re conflating GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. They _should_ work how people imagine they do.

> it was never about the cookies themselves.

The ePrivacy directive was about cookies. GDPR is about user consent and data handling - the cookie banner is from the ePrivacy directive.

> Cookie-less tracking still requires a consent prompt, tracking-less cookies never required one.

Where in the GDPR or ePrivacy directive does it say cookie less tracking requires a consent prompt?

And on tracking-less cookies not requiring one - that’s my entire point.
