Thos but unironically. GDPR
-
GDPR doesn't require them to ask if they would just not violate our privacy. In other words, it's perfectly legal to assume "no" if they have no means of asking.
-
It's not only legal to assume, it's a requirement to default to "no".
Tracking is opt-in. -
Indeed. If a site simply doesn't send you cookies, there's no question of GDPR compliance. Blocking the cookies amounts to the same thing.
I'm currently wondering if CNN may actually be in violation by doing this.

The requirement to not track users with cookies does not extend to cookies that make the site work in the first place, such as those which track your login session, or your refusal of other cookies.
-
so don't track login sessions, etc.
no cookies, no problem with not having asked for cookie consent.
if the site breaks, it breaks, and leaving it broken is a choice users can make.
