GDPR was toothless during the transition period. They are starting to hand out fines now. Cookie banners suck, but also the EU didn’t mandate cookie banners. They are only a means to get consent. A bad one at that. A company that cares about the user will only set essential cookies until the user explicitly opts in to advertising/analytics/etc, perhaps in exchange for something. It could be a toggle in your account settings or a button in the footer. There’s no need for the implementation to be obtuse. Companies are just greedy. You should push back against their bad business practices. USB-C is great. If all you use is a phone, then it may not seem like mandating USB-C changes much, but this is a big deal for camera equipment, radios, and other electronics.
