Shouldn't this be opt-in according to GDPR?

Won't this result into copy-paste-like functionality of StackOverflow? This seems great for small projects, but doesn't look useful at for anything else it seems. I'm skeptical that Kite provides anything of value compared to all of the other tools I have.

The website has mentioned that other languages "are coming soon", though it has said this since the last Kite scandal. Are these just empty words?

No, because it isn't personal data.

But cookies that save your search queries are personal data and require opt-in? You can consider anything not to be "personal data". I still really want this to be opt-in, not opt-out.
