Let's say I want to improve my site by recording basic user analytics like unique user counts, to produce actionable data. I'm not nefariously collecting their social security number. I'm just putting some uuid in a harmless cookie in their browser so I can track which requests are from a unique browser.
Thanks to the GDPR I cannot do this without the stupid cookie warning popup.
In this regard, the GDPR is clumsy lawmaking that results in companies having to behave defensively, hoping that users will accept a damaged UX in order that the company is not fined by the EU.
