I'm not sure if I truly understand why they take cookies as seriously as they do. Perhaps there's something I'm missing? Cookies are on almost every website on the internet, so I've always wondered why the user is always alerted of their existence, every single time, on every single website. 
That being said, I think that the rest of GPDR is a good thing and should have happened sooner. (We have it implemented here, for example, where you can purge your account data and permanently erase everything by request, etc). But almost every single website on the internet has cookies, so it's just something that becomes another annoying popup after a while.
Of course, I will say it is definitely nice to have some accountability with what websites are doing with user data. There are some fishy ones out there.
