@Archnemysis I'm sick of people parroting this misinformation. No, you don't need a "cookie notice" if you use cookies. You need consent for specific things you may want to do with cookies but the cookies are an implementation detail. Specifically, tracking requires consent and Google ads and analytics are an example of that.
@alan ok, had the OP framed it as “an example of that” instead of it all being Google’s fault, then you would have a point. But people asked for prior consent, they want opt-in not just opt-out. So it seems very disingenuous to blame cookie notices on Google.
