No it doesn't. EU Law requires you to not harvest data at will, and you either must have a basic functional requirement (i.e. 'remember my login'), or you must ask the user if you can have their data to profile them so the advertisements can make a few percent more money (yes, the whole profiling thing doesn't even add that much to the bottom-line!).
- privacylawthrow 6y agoThis is wrong. EU law absolutely does require cookie banners if a website uses non-essential cookies, even if those cookies are not used to harvest data.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoThe cookie law predates GDPR.
