Hi. I clicked "I DO NOT ACCEPT" and it took me to https://europa.eu/. Then I clicked back, and it didn't show the banner anymore.

There are still 4 cookies set, including "euconsent" (set to some weird value), and "__cfduid" which I assume is some kind of unique identifier.

I don't know if you're serious about implementing GDPR compliance, but this isn't.

"__cfduid" is added by Cloudflare, and as far as I know, it can't be disabled.

__cfduid should be cloudflare for CDN...

cfdruid is a technical cookie and is exempt under GDPR.
