> GDPR do make a lot of things cumbersome, not only if you are doing "bad" things.
That's a far cry from "they make these cookie banners necessary". Tracking people without consent on first visit is what makes them necessary. The anger is consistently misdirected at the people who violate the boundaries of others, not the law that requires consent for it.

"We'll ask them if it's okay to store it, and once they leave the club we delete their contact information after N months." Now you have a policy. The person who does everything else, the person who is already secretary, receptionist, accountant, project manager, janitor, coach, counselor, CEO, is now also the PDO.
Human rights being trampled on with an ever increasing mesh of surveillance by big agencies and corporations as well as little informants are such gross violations, such a terrible trajectory we put society on, that mere complication and discomfort is not something that can ever trump them in my book. I would even say if you can't put food on the table without ignoring the human rights of others, just don't put food on the table -- because that's the negotiable part, while the preservation of human rights is not. We need human righs, we don't need ad-hoc low-effort soccer clubs. Like, at all. Just get a ball and some friends in that case.
