(Your site is http, not https. While not a GDPR issue, in 2023 that's a bug, as people visiting http sites facilitates malware injection attacks, and we need to get to "no sites are http and nobody would think it reasonable to visit one": https://citizenlab.ca/2023/09/predator-in-the-wires-ahmed-eltantawy-targeted-with-predator-spyware-after-announcing-presidential-ambitions/ ) I am aware of GDPR, but my impression is that cookies per se are not problematic, but only tracking. My impression is further that ~nobody is clear on this point and adds annoying popups that ask for broad/vague consent to "improve your experience", and that in general this is dreadful. This particular one isn't quite so bad, except that the text (which cannot be cut/pasted, which is bad), talks about "personalise content" which does not mean ads (which are ads not content), and then has a marketing toggle. It then says "we may share information with social media and analytics partners", without naming them, and without explaining if "statistics" cookies are ever used to gather, store or use identifiable information (vs just counts). This lack of clarity is in my view not compliant. Also, the "allow all" is highlighted, and my understanding is that it must be just as easy to decline as to allow, and thus this is an additional GDPR violation. > And it seems to work ok. > After the first cookie selection, it seems, that one has to reload the page > again for full functionality.

The obvious solution is not to engage in tracking, and thus not to need to ask for consent to track. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
