Companies lying through their teeth pretending that ePrivacy & GDPR forces them to have a cookie banner.
Companies (and clueless HN posters) that lie to you, telling you that GDPR is impossible to implement, and that if you even get the slightest thing wrong, you'll get fined the maximum fine.
Fines have always been a last resort, or for egregious and willful violations of the GDPR. Your company doesn't implement it properly and it goes all the way to a court ? For almost all cases, the court will simply tell you "you have X days to be GDPR compliant". Said X being more than 90.
