A lot of websites don't show cookie banners (DuckDuckGo, GitHub, HN, gitlab, etc.). Sure, the law has some minor mistakes, but it is the fault of the websites.

A lot of websites don't show cookie banners (DuckDuckGo, GitHub, HN, gitlab, etc.). Sure, the law has some minor mistakes, but it is the fault of the websites. If they didn't track the user, they wouldn't have to display a banner.
- CameronNemo 5y agoGitLab has definitely shown me a cookie banner in the past. Did they find a way around it?
- JCWasmx86 5y agoIn a new session https://gitlab.com https://gitlab.com or e.g. https://gitlab.com/ase/ase https://gitlab.com/ase/ase don't show me a cookie banner.
- PoignardAzur 5y agoI just opened that first link in a private window, and I get a cookie banner. Maybe because I'm in France.
- SilasX 5y agoGitHub’s approach is really dubious and probably violates GDPR as well. They “only use necessary cookies” but then do (unnecessary) analytics on those necessary cookies. But doing the unnecessary part still requires explicit consent. Discussion of this point at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25457903 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25457903
