    As an FYI, your latest cookie message, and the assumption of ‘opt in’, is against GDPR.

    Users have to specifically opt in, you cannot assume it due to the continuation of the use of the site.

    Are you sure about that? I thought the opt in assumption thing was about receiving correspondence. Accepting cookies is different

    Cookie compliance

    To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must:

    Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.
    Provide accurate and specific information about the data each cookie tracks and its purpose in plain language before consent is received.
    Document and store consent received from users.
    Allow users to access your service even if they refuse to allow the use of certain cookies
    Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.
