Please see the EU website itself - All normal websites are using cookies. The EU itself is doing a banner - they have (thankfully) made it a lot less obtrusive where you can still use the site now without giving explicit consent.
But this is I think the "big lie" of the GDPR folks - no banners needed, when even the EU itself and its agencies etc all use it.
So you expect random joe blow website to overthink this even further, go against what they see the EU itself doing? It's total garbage.
- pgeorgi 5y agoI'm browsing europa.eu a fair while now (in a private browser session to avoid any old cookie from maybe interfering) and the only banner they show is "An official website of the European Union - How do you know?" There are two links to the cookie page (https://europa.eu/european-union/abouteuropa/cookies_en https://europa.eu/european-union/abouteuropa/cookies_en or equivalent for the currently used language), one in the top nav bar, one in the bottom. Interestingly, that page talks about the cookie banner and how they need consent for analytics and stuff, but I never saw that. So, given how they explicitly state that they need it for analytics, I went to my browser settings and disabled sending the DNT header - and there was the cookie consent popup. So: State outright and by default that you don't want to be analyzed and they won't bother you. My only question is why they see a need to do analytics. Without that they wouldn't require that stuff _at all_.
- jacquesm 5y agoNo banners are needed. They are required when you start tracking your users because that when you need their consent to do so. And that's quite proper.
