Maybe (I'm too lazy to check this out). But from what I remember only after GDPR those banners went viral in clumsy, annoying, not useful and frequently unnecessary implementations. Maybe it's because of hefty fines introduced in the context of GDPR.
My point is: Did it help fighting privacy issues? I don't think so. Did it harm? I do think so. Will it ever be somehow measured for its effectiveness and be taken back/changed to be more effective? I don't think so. So better get rid of it.

The problem is that not enough fines have been meted out. Had they been, we'd see less of the unuseful, annoying, unnecessary banners. Because they are this way on purpose: to make you "consent" to wholesale collection and trading of your data.
- nicky0 4y agoI seem to recall that before the GDPR, cookie banners were basically a single "OK" button, annoying but at least usually floating near the bottom of the page. After GDPR. they became dark-patterned modal nests of unfathomable checkboxes and submenus. I don't think it has made of jot of difference for privacy, but it sure has degraded the user experience of using the web.
