They clearly state that they use cookies for analytics. They are not collecting PII. Their Google Analytics implementation uses `anonymizeIp`.

I would not trust a company whose bottom line is proportional to how much personal data they collect to just honour an "anonymise" argument.

Not to mention, analytics still wouldn't require a cookie unless they want to know which other sites I visited, which is none of their business.

The cookies are also used to distinguish visitors. I'd recommend using private browsing or a GA blocker plugin if you're not comfortable with that.
