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...

    Service: Cookie consent kit

    Purpose: Stores your preferences for 3rd-party cookies (so you won't be asked again)

    Cookie type and duration: First-party session cookie deleted after you quit your browser

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.

    Look, governments are big, really big. The department responsible for the website has absolutely nothing to do with the cookie banner law.

    My website doesn't have a banner because I don't track you. That's how easy it is to not have a cookie banner.
