At least for GDPR, if you are not storing users' data, you don't have to put a banner.
And even if you’re storing relevant user data, you don’t have to put a banner.
You only need a banner if you’re storing data you don’t need, for tracking or other secondary purposes.
But companies actively want the end users to misunderstand and blame the law for making the internet so bad with the banners.
Remember, companies only care about their pockets, not the people.
