what is required is not the same as what happens in practice. Visit any wiki.gg site and see what they're doing.

  The law is not enforced. The non-enforcement is largely by design/lobby though.

    This law hasn't been enforced here but it's not like it has never been enforced; major websites like Google, Facebook and others were forced to add "reject all": https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/21/23035289/google-reject-all-cookie-button-eu-privacy-data-laws https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/21/23035289/google-reject-al...

      It took EU enforcement eight years to enforce obvious violations of the law for a few companies. The illegal nags are still rampant. And e.g. Meta (and many newspapers) already has a new obviously illegal tracking scheme with the "pay to not track". The intended effect of GDPR would have been easily gotten with legally binding do-not-track and similar automated means. Very few people want to be tracked, but most of them are against their true consent.

  When visiting a wiki.gg website from the EU I'm seeing an "Allow essential cookies" button next to "Accept all". This seems compliant with the EU laws - the laws are against non-essential cookies only; same source as in grandparent comment: > European law requires that all websites targeting European Union member states gain "informed consent" from users before storing non-essential cookies on their device. But yes, this is not the case on fandom wikis - in practice these are not compliant.
