1. If they have an account, you don't need anything but the auth cookie to make your tracking. 2. I'm 90% sure that you can drop those cookies and keep log of their actions serverside. 3. Because you are denying agency to those people who don't want to be tracked. If your customers don't think that you respect them and their choices, they will say "f*ck you" and move to the business next door. People are social creatures and we often do irrational things to reassure ourselves that we are respected by those we deal with. On the other hand, if you are smart, you can diferentiate on the fact that it is your own tracking. A sample cookie banner is: This website does not share your data! We don't use third party trackers and we will never share your data with anyone. We use cookies only to make the service better and we promise never to use them for anything else. Button: Yes, I agree to cookies as far as all of it stays between us. Button: Thanks, I've really considered it and I'll skip on the cookies this time. First, this is not the usual cookie banner and it will be interesting. Second, it shows that it is a personal relationship between you and the customer. Most people deny cookies because it is like letting someone follow you all around the town taking pictures of everything you do, say or buy. Third, you clearly make a promise to maintain this way of work in the future. Of course, some people will deny the request, but they will have one less reason to do so and it is very likely that they might change their minds. Finally, you can always think for a better analogy, but think of the essence of it: a business owner asks publicly how to circumvent the law in order to mislead their customers to the nature of the service they are providing.
