Would cookies be defined as personal data? If so, can the user deny cookies and still surf the webz without issues?

Imagine your parents are tracking your iPhone location. While you’re moving around freely, they know where you are. Your mom can look and see you’re at the park. Because your mom knows you’re at the park she sends you a photo of a squirrel with the caption “deez nutz”.

You’ve received the text but all you can say is OK. You can delete the text, but you can’t un-receive it.

You = you.
iPhone tracker = cookies.
Squirrel = ad.
Your response “Ok” to your mom = cookie banners (they usually don’t do anything)
