No, using banners or popups is fine. Sites just need to use compliant ones.
The banner/popup has to say
"Check this checkbox to continue with third party cookies, otherwise just continue without". (checkbox has to be unchecked at first)
Or "Click [this button] to visit with third party cookies or [this button] to visit without" (buttons have to be the same size).
But yes - in this form banners and popup present an annoyance to the user AND very few will actually consent (if they understand the question). So they will be worthless for the site owner, which is a good thing because no one likes these banners.
