They've gotten far less annoying as of late, in good part because the EU made it clear annoying the user into acceptance isn't going to fly.
But early on, when websites had the great idea to make me opt out of 78 "partners" one by one, my annoyance was not at the EU, but at the website forcing me to click 78 checkboxes, and a reaction of "WTF? Why are 78 companies being informed I'm reading an article?"

Did you know the US also has equivalent banana regulations?

Yeah, to their detriment to the point that it killed pretty much every other eurosceptic movement, and apparently they're not that happy with Brexit anymore themselves either.
