Don't underestimate the argument of "just to be on the safe side". Someone running a business who doesn't know a lot about cookies will often just put a banner on as an easy arse covering mechanism even when not required.

- JoshTriplett 2mo agoPerhaps someone could publish a clear A/B test on how many views/conversions you lose by having a cookie banner?
- NopIdoN 2mo agoThat doesn't work, because you have to list what cookies you're asking for. If the banner's not required, it ends up saying stuff like "we'd like permission to share your data with 0 partners". Ever see that? The fact is most website operators want to use your data for non-essential purposes.
