You don't need a cookiebar if you don't set the cookies in the first place. In your own ideal scenario you would be receiving a ton of your users' information, but you don't even understand a pretty fundamental part of legislation which pertains to privacy. This doesn't inspire confidence.
For anyone else running into this sort of garbage, I just discovered that ublock lets you block individual elements. Block the GDPR notice and you haven't accepted it and they can't be assholes and set a ton of tracking cookies (or if they still do, someone in the EU please file a GDPR complaint).
