What’s a solution to cookie banners?
The obvious answer is to simply not have them, but this gets you to square one.
The next option might be to have browser-wide settings that communicate to websites that you have not opted into marketing / creepy cookies. This could be default opt out - which will obviously hurt the marketing industry but would provide significant benefits to people. Opting in would need to be incentivized.
As a middle ground, the law could be modified to allow only the necessary cookies for website functionality. The law would need to be very specific about what counts as necessary (nothing that tracks and shares).
This would eliminate the need for banners while preserving some privacy.
Thoughts?
