I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪

The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.

No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.

My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.

Yours shouldn't either.

@Em0nM4stodon stupid question from a non-expert, but where do analytics fit into this? Not the "we want to analyse what you're buying" kind but the "how do you use our site" kind. Because I've noticed even government sites use the banner and presumably they don't sell your data.

I'm tangentially involved with building a public sector web portal, and we would like to understand if and where users struggle with the service. Or is that not done with cookies and/or would those class as essential?

@thecasualcritic

If you go to any gov.uk website you’ll see a very simple cookie consent banner on most of them which basically only asks whether you agree to analytical cookies or rather not. Reason it’s so simple is that “strictly necessary” (eg authentication) cookies are covered under implied consent and they don’t use anything else than analytics.
