This is marginally true but misleading. There is not a consistent definition of what data is considered "essential" so the current consensus is that for all cookies - whether it be a first-party non-tracking or not - you are safest to just have the consent banner.
I've worked with four separate GDPR legal teams over my career and none have ever agreed that there is was any such use case as "essential-only" data.
- orwin 2y agoThen they're bad legal teams. Github.com, free.fr, 42.fr probably a lot of others as those are 3 of the first 4 fqdn I thought about when asking myself 'which website does not need advertising or tracking)'.
- legitster 2y agoGithub eliminated cookies for anonymous users on their repo pages, but absolutely still uses tons of cookies for authenticated users, which lets them skirt around the banner requirement: https://github.com/privacy/cookies https://github.com/privacy/cookies They also use an internal analytics system which eliminates the need for a tracking cookie, though they are still able to track website activity. Visiting free.fr prompts a cookie banner for me, as does 42.fr. Analyzing their websites, they use Didomi and Axeptio as their cookie consent systems - respectively.
- mike_hearn 2y agoFurther down this thread you point at a specific website and claim it doesn't have popups, even though it does. The same is true of free.fr (modal popup) and (sliding cookie banner). It's not great that you keep defending cookie popups when you not only very clearly block them, but did it so long ago you forgot about it.
