This is relatively minor, but it would it be possible not to show a cookie notice to people loading the site from countries such as the US where these notices are not required?
@Jeff Kaufman 🔸 it would be possible, we’re currently using a library that claims to use heuristics based on the user’s timezone and locale, but this doesn’t seem to work very well. For the forum we use IP geolocation which is more reliable, so we can switch to that.
@Ian Turner unfortunately we do get some value out of non-GDPR-compatible analytics, and we want to try and optimise the site as a top-of-funnel intro to EA over time, so we think the banner is worth it for now.

Or better yet, just give up on cookies altogether and don’t serve a notice to anyone. Like Wikipedia.
