I‘m implementing a #GDPR-compliant #cookie #banner at the moment – and will write a #blogtober post about it – but now I’m curious: which (ideally open-source) solution are you swearing by or is working for you? Of course it should block all requests/cookies before consent is given.

Looks like the DoJ is not going to issue the expected rulings on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) after all:
