Not sure were you are located, but if you are giving access to people protected by the GDPR your cookie notice does not fullfill the requirements set by European Regulations.

Additionally, if you are located in a country that (like Germany for example) has regulations on the necessity of an imprint, this might also be missing.

Or do I misunderstand the law?
