I've been looking into GDPR and when a cookie consent is needed. In fact, there's no thing called "cookie consent". If you track a user, you have to get his consent before doing it, whether you use cookie consent or now. Ever since I joined HN, there's a lot of marketing going on here from privacy-first Google analytics alternative guys. I found this review showing Plausible and similar products using browser fingerprints and CName cloacking for user tracking, and they still promote those features.

I'd like to know your opinion on this. Do I still need to use a consent banner if I use these services?

Thanks.

Yes, that happens in most hosted software agreements. We don't read most of them.

That makes me wonder what our brains can do if developed in some way. :):

No HTTPS :(

I remember blog posts published years ago stating blog comments are dead. Yet, they are here still. It's mainly a "reputation factor" for blogs, yet blogger's choice. Spam is unavoidable however.
