Some websites don't use third party cookies or trackers so they don't have to show the popup. Like mine

  That’s great. Same with mine. Sadly most sites still use them, and will still display the banners with no real option but to accept. Most are horrendous to deal with.

  There might be a small subset of websites that do not show popup. However, the question is whether the users adjust their browsing behavior based on those popups or not? If the users have just become acclimatized to clicking on them, then the situation has not really changed in any meaningful way.

    Dunno, I always opt out. It's not that hard to do, really.

      Even when you opt out, do inspect your cookies. You'll be surprised as to how many are still there, solely for the purposes of tracking.

        Which is illegal.

  From what I can tell, the official EU website (https://europa.eu https://europa.eu) does not use third-party cookies or trackers. They have a pop-up.

    Only recently have they added the popup (last 6 months or so), they previously used google analytics with no consent and made themselves exempt from the law https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180605/22253339978/eu-commission-violates-gdpr-claims-that-exempt-law-legal-reasons.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180605/22253339978/eu-co...
