Mm, I think as long as you’re not using the cookies for advertising purposes, you don’t have to pop up a banner. But if you’re using any kind of cookie for ads, you do. GitHub recently published a post called “no cookie for you” or some such, which made that distinction clear. They said they were able to get rid of the popup by not doing any ads. But still, it feels… wildly unhelpful to inform users that cookies are being used for ads. I’d love to understand the other viewpoint, though.
