It only took two minutes to find at https://www.schwarzkuenstler.com/ and I'm sure I can find a dozen more in half an hour.

Germany is a bit litigious w.r.t. internet or privacy, so the combination---cookie consent---is a doozy. Nearly every German website that does anything will have a consent notification, and the slightest misstep (e.g. using Google Fonts without asking permission) can be punishable.

Their privacy policy states they use Google reCAPTCHA, which requires disclosure.

True, I hadn't noticed that at first glance, and I didn't see that as a third-party cookie in my site data. Nonetheless, I regularly see cookie warnings on sites with purely first-party cookies or even "just" session storage. (Mostly, I have been alert to this for the past year as I've started making non-personal web sites in Europe.)
