Your argument is that types of data collection don't require notification. But most of the sites that have the banner are engaging in types of collection that do require notification, hence the banners.
You might not like the business practices of these websites, but it's their business practices and they are legal. And if they want to continue doing them, then they do need the banners, which are dictated by GDPR.
- Propelloni 3y agoYes, if you want to collect, store, and use data that you have no legitimate reason (to be clear, in the scope of the GDPR) to collect, you need the consent of the owner of the data. That's what the GDPR says. How you get the consent is up to you. The GDPR does not mandate any specific method, banners or otherwise.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoRight, so we're agreed most of the websites that show a banner need to show a banner or equivalent to obtain consent because they are collecting data that the GDPR requires they gain consent to collect. In that case then, a banner is the best and least intrusive way to do that, given the alternative is a popup or redirect. Thus, for many of these sites, the GDPR does directly mandate the banners.
