what is required is not the same as what happens in practice. Visit any wiki.gg site and see what they're doing.

When visiting a wiki.gg website from the EU I'm seeing an "Allow essential cookies" button next to "Accept all". This seems compliant with the EU laws - the laws are against non-essential cookies only; same source as in grandparent comment:

> European law requires that all websites targeting European Union member states gain "informed consent" from users before storing non-essential cookies on their device.

But yes, this is not the case on fandom wikis - in practice these are not compliant.

The law is not enforced. The non-enforcement is largely by design/lobby though.
