You only need to get consent if you plan to collect user data. There's no need to store any cookie documenting user consent if you aren't doing anything you would need consent for! And that is the real aim of the law: "The General Data Protection Regulation requires you to consider whether there is an opportunity to achieve the objective through processing less data or if the aim can be achieved through less intrusive means." [1] Don't blame the GDPR for the plague of useless cookie warnings; blame lazy developers who would rather thoughtlessly burden you with shitty UX than try to stop tracking you. 1) https://www.gdpreu.org/gdpr-requirements/ https://www.gdpreu.org/gdpr-requirements/
