SV and the advertising industry thrives on those misunderstandings.
Put simply, there is no need for "cookie banners" unless those cookies are being used to track or personally identify me (hello advertisers!), in which case, I need to give my opt-in informed consent to allow this; and so I should.
Hardly surprising SV and the advertising industry campaigns against "cookie banners", rather than their own unethical trading in personal data without consent.
