Yes, 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.
