Our plans to improve navigation on Gov.uk

AFAIK, that's not necessarily GDPR, you still need to have a cookie notice for third-party cookies, even if your third-party cookies don't collect PII.

But as others have said, you don't need a cookie notice of all you're using is necessary cookies.

Plus in the UK the ICO is underfunded, has a low enforcement record and is now sending menacing, misleading, letters demanding £40 from every UK business even though 90% of them don't actually need to pay the fee.

I take it you are referring to their data protection fee:

I agree it’s a complete joke, they demand you pay, then you pay £40 annually to basically click yes on 3 questions saying you are holding consumers personal information correctly with zero verification.

Ghod, I'd never heard of that.

"It should take about 15 minutes to complete this form."

Really? 15m to make a 40-quid payment? Please fix that (or better, don't charge a fee unless you're providing a service).
