Does that mean same-domain? That basically meets the EU requirement for most tracking systems I think (where they're third party that is). "Accept the session cookie but not the Go…

What we should've done is made browser vendors add EU cookie consent instead of every. single. website. Then I can configure my browser for Always/Never/Ask or whatever. That would…
