Re: Most websites don't need cookie consent banners
#3I wonder how many people provide consent through these banners. Is it frequent enough to be worth the terrible user experience?
I know some sites use dark patterns in their cookie banners, which I consider to be a helpful hint that the company doesn't respect the users.

Considering that for most banners the "consent" is the easy option I assume a lot. People want to get rid of the banners.
However I claim the point of the bad UX is to make users angry and then have them complain about EU etc. "demanding" those. In order to weaken the regulation of tracking. If they are successful (and they are making progress) "no more cookie banners" is a lot better headlines than "more tracking"

#5“You DO need consent for:
Third-party tracking cookies like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel“ Since most websites use GA then yes most need the banners. You could say most sites don’t need GA but that’s a different argument.

#6"Advertising or behavioral tracking cookies"
Any real business needs to do behavioral tracking for campaign conversions, add-to-cart, customer acquisition, funneling, retention, personalization, etc.
I love how we all hate cookie banners and say they are unnecessary, but are salaries are all paid by apps that do behavioral tracking.
Only hobby blogs can get by without it.

You can track conversions exactly without using analytics or cookies, by using promotion codes.

I appreciate the list of reasons to cookies are useful. Despite having worked in technology for 25 years, I couldn't have articulated that list off the top of my head. I have never worked for a website that made money that way.
I think that means not ALL websites need invasive tracking.

can you give examples of serious online businesses that are not doing those things?
Here are the industries that I've worked in that all did behavioral tracking for the above applications
* gaming
* music industry
* healthcare
* social media
* news
* internet search
* online retail
