Yes, there's a lot of cargo culting in web development. Many US based companies also do this for US visitors, which is absolutely not required by the GDPR and related regulations, because they don't apply there. The law states: > Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies. Strictly necessary: > These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. You don't need consent for MOST reasonable uses of cookies. If compliance theatre wasn't such an industry the web would be a lot tidier and we could stop blaming the EU for implementing important privacy and data controls. | ||
