This is way more complex that it is. Especially the cookie banner part. If you don't have global analytics (= google analytics) and if you don't have personalised ads, you're fine.
This person/company sells a "GDPR compliant" product. So they have all the incentive to make it sound a bigger deal and threat than it is. This way you will buy from them and accept the hefty price.
From my understanding, the issue with the Amazon fine, which they evasively mention, is that you could click on "deny" on their cookie banner but still be personally be tracked by amazon. [1] [2]

- that_guy_iain 4y agoIt's quite funny, you're saying I'm making it more complex than it is while everyone else is saying I'm oversimplifying it. Also, my understanding of the Amazon issue which I mentioned was they set the cookie before you accepted or rejected therefore the cookie was always set. Considering this is probably the most common mistake when it comes to cookie banners it seems fair to mention.
