Cookie compliance under GDPR

By collecting only that personal data you need and asking consent for anything beyond pure technical needs. And telling what you are collecting amd how long you storing that info.

Really, that isn’t that hard. We all europeans are doing it.

With cookies you should use only technical ones if you don’t get consent.

I’d suggest that the only cookie you can store without consent is a cookie containing a refusal to consent. So you don’t bother the user with every request.

Well, that’s not true. It is one of those cookies. You can use anything without given consent that

  • doesn’t follow an user
  • doesn’t identify an user outside a site and without technical need
  • doensn’t help store personal data without technical need

Really, this isn’t that hard.

  • Don’t spy your users
  • Don’t use personal data unless it it needed
  • Don’t store personal data longer than is needed
  • Tell what you are doing and why

GDPR is matter of personal information and how to use it. Nothing more, nothing less.

It has absolut nothing to do how we are storing language inforrmation or is someone logged in or not, etc. No one needs consent for those, but it (and everything else) must be told.

That’s why I’m a bit confused why this is so red flag to so many websites. Because they want to follow, gather personal data etc perhaps?

This as simply than we don’t spamm even every marketing experts tell us how god damn effective way to make money it is.
