Off topic sorry but why bother with the cookie agreement on the overlay footer like this? You are not giving users the ability to opt out so this just annoys people without making the website GDPR compliant.


I will soon disable this for non-EU visitors. A more sophisticated cookie agreement banner is not so trivial to do with static sites. As long as everybody is doing it this way, even big corporations, I will keep this approach for EU visitors.


It might as well not be there if there's no way to opt out of the cookie. It's not GDPR compliant either way.
