Last time I checked, HN doesn't use tracking cookies and other such nonsense. All I see are session cookies to track my login. That doesn't require any form of popup.
HN being an American company probably violates some section of the GDPR (not having someone labeled as the privacy officer or some other technicality) but I doubt anyone cares. If you feel your privacy is getting violated, you can try contacting your local DPA.
In terms of cookies and data processing, I don't think HN is breaking the law anywhere, unless the privacy policy is full of lies and dang is secretly selling our personal info on the site (he isn't).
