The stupid cookie notice is entirely the fault of the site you are visiting. The EU just made the site show you how it's fucking you.

There's a cookie banner on https://european-union.europa.eu/index_en and https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj/eng

    That site is run by the EU, so those particular banners are the fault of the EU, yes. Most of the other ones you see are not, though.

      If the EU is unable to separate itself from pages of analytics and tracking cookies and fifteen third party providers (YouTube, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and so on), then "most of the other ones you see" are likewise compelled to have the cookie banner.

      Alternatively, if you need a cookie banner for every bit of analytics...

      Yep, your cookie consent cookie is browser session and every page that has a cookie consent banner that sets a cookie so that you won't see it is required to have a cookie consent banner to inform you that you have a cookie tracking your cookie consent.
