The laws (GDPR and the so called "cookie law") do not say anything about cookies specifically, so tracking users in other ways that still identify them similarly while not being necessary would still require the banner and consent.

- merb 6y agoit depends if you use a cookie to track individual visitors but do so by generating a hash and saving it into a database that is legal. if you save something along that hash, which would identify somebody or some kind of hash based on browser/ip, that would be illegal. btw. ip addresses still needs to be saved by german means (when users can log in), since if you are a big service you need to give authorities the identity to your users, if they made something illegal. it's really really wierd.
