There are no cookie banners, at least not nessesary ones. There is just a consent requirement for processing personal data.
- Um, what? Almost every consent banner I've seen has specifically asked about cookies, and usually nothing else.
  
  This is a misconception many sites fall into. They really do not have to ask for just cookies, it's like there were asking to use CSS or JavaScript :).
  
  I like my websites RAW, they're not going to spy on me with those cascading styles and I do not want anything to interpret HTML for me, I will interpret it according to myself and not according to how some corporation wants. Wake up sheeple! /s
