This approach only seems to target the GDPR. It needs to also satisfy the laws created by the ePrivacy directive in the EU member states, and UK (PECR). Storing data in a cookie ("or similar technology") requires informed consent. Airgap.js does not shield you from this requirement. If you want your users to not have to step through the Cookie Inquisition, consider the actual business loss of not using cookies [for everybody] any more. Yes, a ton of marketing tools require them, but do you require the tracking aspects of those marketing tools? Food for thought. For anybody unfamiliar with EU ePrivacy Directive derrived laws, here's the UK's implementation (PECR): https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-and-similar-technologies/ https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies-a...

Private local storage is likely not a 'similar technology' in the legal sense that the legislatures were referring to. IANAL & TINLA Cookies are shared over the network by default. Local storage is not shared over the network by default. Regardless, we support configuring our consent manager into the bog-standard norm for customers that share your legal interpretation. Even in that case, nuance can be applied specifically to individual privacy legal regimes (e.g. GDPR), allowing you to use most of our features in other legal regimes (CPRA, etc).

  Again, this isn't the GDPR at work here, it's ePrivacy, and, well, here's what the UK ICO say about PECR (their implementation): > regulation 6 actually applies to anyone who stores information on a user’s device or gains access to information on a user’s device, in either case by any method It's deliberately broad. You store it, you notify them. Full text on this: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2426/regulation/6/made https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2426/regulation/6/m...
