Weird that I have to get a list of all the cookie vendors that know I visit a website to show me an ad about something I already bought but the guys with my ID don't need to be listed.

Under GDPR they need to be listed.

GDPR isn't a cookie law — it's a PII law. They need to tell you all parties that get your ID picture, or they're in breach.

GDPR is not a PII law. The term is not mentioned once in GDPR. GDPR speaks of "personal data", which as Wikipedia puts it "is significantly broader".

Doesn't PII, mean personal information which is is another term for personal data?

Personally Identifiable Information is about data that can identify you personally. Personal data might be something you don't want to share but is not necessarily identifying you
