Modern cookie banners definitely are malicious compliance and most certainly are also violations of the GDPR. All those companies could use less invasive methods of asking for consent, such as optional checkboxes in signup forms. Or a non-intrusive "click here to opt-in to tracking". The reason they don't do it like this is because they prefer forcing users to click "Accept All" using dark patterns. Anyone complaining about shitty cookie banners is actually complaining about companies breaking GDPR.
