I'd appreciate if I could use your website without advertisement cookies. Would you mind complying with EU cookie law?
I'm not familiar, what is the law, that we cannot use authentication cookies or google/twitter analytics cookies?
The 'cookie' law is (mainly) the ePrivacy Directive, that requires websites to get a user's informed, specific, and affirmative consent before storing or accessing non-essential information on their device.
To comply a website must inform users about their cookie usage (who is using it, why, and how long they are stored, I think) and allow users to easily withdraw their consent at any time (though there's no requirement to easily decline).
Actualy looking at the site, it already might be? I'm not sure, I don't remember the specifics of the law. But there is a banner pop up and you do inform cookies are used and why, and there's an easy way to withdraw consent.
Yeah that's what my one guy said was enough at the time, and we've got some European partners who never brought it up, so maybe it's good enough with the banner?
