has to disable ublock to see it.
if you link the link and see what they do with them basically they use cookies for analytics, tracking/surveying site usage, user auth, dupral, moodle, and 3rd parties websites like youtube, google, facebook, etc.
why do you think a banner should not be in this case ? devs are lazy they aren't going to recreate all the service inhouse from scratch. I don't think the dev team has infinite budget either.

That cookie popup is within the law:
- it offers an explanations that cookies are used, and offers a link to read why
- it offers a way to opt out that is as easy as the way to opt-in
- it doesn't prevent the site from functioning
However, I agree that they shouldn't require non-essential cookies to begin with.
That website basically has an infinite budget and doesn't have to make a single cent. It is also for the group that should have the best understanding of the law. Yet they still give you the cookie popup.
