It's also the case that really making cookies painful just pushes more tracking to other places such as browser fingerprinting, which is much, much more difficult to defeat than cookies.

note that the GDPR doesn't make a difference between cookies and browser fingerprinting. It doesn't concern itself with the technical details.

Whatever applies to cookies also applies to browser fingerprinting.
