GDPR isn't the cookie law. It is a law regulating storage of personal data overall. The banners are a result of greed and incompetence. The companies made stupid amount of money by closely profiling every single individual using cookies and fingerprinting. They are in malicious compliance and if the behavior continues the regulation may become more stringent.
- ggreer 2y agoI never said the GDPR was the cookie law. I was just linking to a site that summarized the actual law. If storing preferred language in a cookie (without any uniquely identifying info) does not require a cookie banner, then I'd be happy to be corrected on that.
- kalleboo 2y agoYou don’t need an intrusive banner on page open. You just need consent. If the user is saving a setting like a language preference, just put “by saving this preference you agree for us to store the setting” next to the option/OK button (it’s really implicit just like their shopping cart example, but this is if you want to be really paranoid)
- troupo 2y agoIf it cannot be linked to you, it's no longer PII, and doesn't require consent. As easy as that.
