Most of the cookie warnings are clearly against guidance which says that consent must not be a condition of service to be considered freely given, must be opt in not opt out and that even with consent the use of pii must be in the user's interests.
Almost no cookie warnings meet the law and many of the ones that do could use a different lawful basis and not show a dialog at all.
- paxys 8y ago> consent must not be a condition of service So what do you do if your website literally cannot function without cookies?
- rcxdude 8y agoThen you do not need to ask consent to use them. You only need consent for cookies or data collection if it is not necessary to the service (and 'necessary for tracking ads' does not count as necessary).
- paxys 8y agoWhy not, if that's how you are paying for the site to exist?
- rcxdude 8y agoBecause that's what the law says. Your business model is not allowed to infringe on the rights of your users to control their data. You can pay for the site to exist in other ways, but not by collecting your users data without their consent.
