> We are happy to have removed cookie banners from GitHub
I'm a regular visitor to GitHub from the EU, most of the time not logged in and in private browsing mode, so I usually appear like a completely new entity that hasn't consented to anything. I only started noticing cookie banners on GitHub in the last month or two.
So... in the past, did you not have cookie banners because you didn't have tracking cookies until recently, and all this is a big publicity stunt? Or were you breaking the law up until a month or two ago by having tracking cookies but not asking for my consent?
