   @zachleat I have had issues telling clients that if you don't track we don't need the banner lol

         @zachleat GA is usually the primary culprit.

            @deebloo well wait how do you use GA without tracking 😅

               @zachleat sorry I meant that is usually the point where we HAVE to add the banner.

                     @zachleat what's annoying is a lot of the information isn't even that useful. It's "just in case"

               @zachleat @deebloo well, obviously, you can't use GA without some tracking -- that's what analytics *is* -- but you can improve it for users, which is why I wrote https://web.dev/learn/privacy/third-parties/#when-embedding-analytics-scripts :-)

         @zachleat @deebloo banner that says “cookies here!” and provides you with a nice snack

   @zachleat only cookie banner I want to see is one that once clicked fills the screen with cookies that the cookie monster then gobbles up :kermit:

   @zachleat And my absolute hate case:
   🤬 We use cookies. By proceeding to use the site you consent

   Where is the shame register we can report these to?

      @kupfers I usually call local emergency services

   @zachleat Every time I click “I decline cookies because I’m human garbage” I start to internalize it. Really tough.

   @zachleat Alternatively: “We don’t have a cookie banner because we don’t track you” or because we track you, but by using a completely self-hosted tracking system that is doing it anonymously and without sending any data to any third-party company.
