I believe his point is that if the user disabled cookies, there's no point in showing the banner. If you don't show the banner you can't track the user, of course.
It's not hard. It's just a matter of checking for navigator.cookieEnabled.
- morelisp 6y agocookieEnabled is not reliable for handling third-party cookies, unless you also load a third-party frame running JS. (And even then it doesn't work like you'd want in many browsers.)
- ratww 6y agoSorry if I missed something, but AFAIK grandparent wasn't talking about third party cookies, only about having cookies disabled and being unable to store the consent flag, so I don't see how this applies to this specific discussion.
- shadowgovt 6y agoIt does. Most people concerned about the GDPR are concerned about third-party cookie tracking. It also highlights how, in general, this is a hard problem. Compliance with this law without creating a dead-static page has subtle complications.
