@anthonyrossbach Hi Anthony, maybe you are right but I think that law should be revised :) Most (or maybe all) PHP websites stores cookie automatically (i.e session cookies) and yes, that is a kind of tracking.. Refusing means we have to redirect user somewhere to another website, or show a blank page or just to close user's window :) Google (maybe not on all sites/sub-sites) is showing just a notice they're using cookies. So we went with Google :)

@zenull_ I don't think you know what the actual law is in this case as it only applies to behaviour and web tracking cookies, session cookies are not included and do not require a notice, you only do if say using Google ads or Google analytics as an example (as both products are not GDPR complient) with the option to turn them off with a click. But some analytics are like Fathom or Plausible since they don't track across sites, or look at behaviour they are GDPR compliant and do not require any warning.

@petartodd It doesn't. You can work around with a few lines of code or so. This Cookie Notice was made as a simple solution (and quick to implement) to show visitors that your website is using cookies and so they know about that.

@oli_vbc This is a lightweight script to show the cookie notice. To refuse cookies we need to know which cookies to refuse and which to keep. For example, without session cookies, a lot of websites won't even function. Do you mean we have to keep some cookies (essential) and refuse all others? In my opinion, the best is to show a notice that you are using cookies and if the visitor continues to browse your website it means they are OK with that.

@zenull_ I think GDPR compliant is a bit more complicate then that, but I totally agree with you, you accept it or leave it... but laws are not so simple now...

@oli_vbc You are right, kind of complicated. More, I thinkg that law is a kind of paranoid law, because in real life (means offline) if someone enters your shop they already agree that you are counting them (hurray, this is 5th customer today), record them on a CCTV, etc. So I think is in the web space. But because we have to comply with laws, we'll show this no so UX thing. This Cookie Notice is an easy to use solution, so that for website owners not overload their website with yet another JavaScript.
