Your point is well made, and this is an unfortunate consequence of the regulation (and I enjoyed the analogy). But it isn't necessary to have cookie banners on every website. Github is a moderately complex, user-optimised website, right? https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/ https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/
- hgomersall 3y agoI clicked on that link and immediately got a cookie banner. Am I missing something?
- rkangel 3y agoInteresting. Clearly I am providing out of date information.
- cseleborg 3y agoMore interestingly, that article says: > We are also committing that going forward, we will only use cookies that are required for us to serve GitHub.com. A few pixels further down, on the cookie banner: > We use optional cookies to improve your experience on our websites and to display personalized advertising based on your online activity. I guess now we finally have a rule-of-thumb figure for what "going forward" means: 3-4 years, tops.
- hgomersall 3y agoOTOH, github.blog is not github.com.
- denton-scratch 3y agoI don't know; I clicked on the link and saw no cookie banner.
- siva7 3y agoIt's probably only displayed to EU users. I saw the cookie banner and it left a bad impression on me with such an blog article.
