Common CMSs send cookies by default. Even if you are one of those tech-inclined people using a static site generator for your own website, this is not the case for millions and millions of other websites.
- nfoz 5y agoThen let's replace those CMS's. [edited with less anger]
- maxrev17 5y agoReplace them? You need cookies for a tonne of reasons. It's really difficult to justify replacing half the web because some people abuse it. That's like replacing cars with walking because some people drink drive.

- iso1631 5y agoWhat reasons do you need the types of cookies you need to ask permission for under the GDPR?
- TheManInThePub 5y ago*sigh* Here we go again. The GDPR has no problem AT ALL with cookies. Use as many as you like with no need for popups. However, if you are using cookies to track or personally identify me, then you need to ask my permission to do so. And so you should. The amount of misinformation (some of it wilful) circulating about the GDPR on HN (a technical forum!) is shocking. If you consider yourself a professional developer then I strongly suggest you read a GDPR primer. There is no excuse not to. Following the GDPR will simply make your code safer when handling personal data.
