Apparently the eu official website really needs to track you then. For what’s essentially just static content. I’ll consider dropping cookies banner when their website can work without. Stop the “do as I say not as I do”

EU official website in it’s cookie banner glory: https://european-union.europa.eu/index_fr

They apparently hired incapable people to build that. Very silly to build it in a way that kind runs contrary to what the intentions of the very laws they are making are.

I get similarly upset, when I see Google tracking on official websites of government or public institutions.

they use third party cookies, just read their linked info on it and it's fairly clear why they have a banner

if they didn't use third party cookies they wouldn't need it
