Of course companies could just - I know, weird idea - stop tracking you. Then you don't need those dumb consent boxes.

Please ask the EU to lead by example then. The official EU commission website has a cookie banner (https://commission.europa.eu/index_fr)

So either: The EU commission is including trackers on their websites. And they should stop OR they acknowledge that it's almost impossible to build a website without some form of tracking that falls under the law, and they should look into the law itself.

So they have work on their plate.

Why would it be almost impossible to "build a website" without tracking?

Why doesn't the EU do it ?
