I actually run a directory of companies and products that don’t use invasive tracking cookies called CookieSlayers in an effort to make people aware of better alternatives, and ultimately build a better web. Feel free to contribute to it.

I have all third party cookies blocked at the browser level, GDPR or no GDPR
That’s good, although it shouldn’t have to fall to you (the consumer) to do that.
It shouldn’t fall on me to click cookie banners either
I don’t disagree. It’s a legislative failure.
