And they can reply back: "Hey, you're wrong".

Doesn’t usually go over well with regulators. If they have to prove their site is fully compliant in court it would become mighty expensive to do so.

So, cookie banner it is.

  • You famously do not have to prove that you're innocent in court. Prosecution has to prove that you're guilty.

  • A cookie banner still doesn't prove compliance. You're still going to have to prove that you don't track users who didn't opt-in. A cookie banner doesn't help anything with that.

  • The same spine that makes companies say "No, I think we will keep our DE&I programs".

  • That's not how the process works.

    • GDPR has nothing to do with cookie banners first of all.

      Also, literally how the process works is, any citizen of an EU country files a complaint, and you’re suddenly at risk for millions in fines and have to prove compliance to an incompetent non-technical person to stop the inquiries.

      It’s easier to throw up a banner, hence why most lawyers recommend this regardless of what you’re doing.
