Section 3.6 says that UI customizations such as language preferences are only exempt if they last for a session (no more than a few hours). Anything longer requires a cookie notice, though they do claim that a less prominent notice than a modal is acceptable.

There's no section 3.6. It doesn't say only a few hours. The optimum behaviour under the law is not to show a cookie banner. It's not to collect copious amounts of data. You only had 8 years to learn about the law, and you still remain willingly ignorant and misinformed about it.
