Here we go again.

The GDPR has no problem AT ALL with cookies. Use as many as you like with no need for popups. However, if you are using cookies to track or personally identify me, then you need to ask my permission to do so. And so you should.

The amount of misinformation (some of it wilful) circulating about the GDPR on HN (a technical forum!) is shocking. If you consider yourself a professional developer then I strongly suggest you read a GDPR primer. There is no excuse not to. Following the GDPR will simply make your code safer when handling personal data.
