I do but we shouldn’t be talking about cookies in our cookie banner then.

That's why the usual phrasing is some variation of "Are we allowed to track you? We use cookies for that".

It was never about the cookies themselves. That just happened to be the most common form of tracking in use when the GDPR was originally written. Cookie-less tracking still requires a consent prompt, tracking-less cookies never required one.
