      No, it doesn’t. The banner is only needed for you to accept the cookies. It’s completely fine to just block the banners or not show them, just the user can’t accept the cookies, so CNN can’t use them.

      CNN would rather block the user than lose out on the chance to save those cookies.

        What exactly does the Cookie Law require?

        The Cookie Law requires users’ informed consent before storing or accessing information on user’s devices.

        This means that if you use cookies you must:

        inform your users that your site/app (or any third-party service used by your site/app) uses cookies;

        explain, in a clear and comprehensive manner, how cookies work and what you use them for;

        obtain informed consent prior to the storing of those cookies on the user’s device.

        In practice, you’ll need to show a cookie banner (also called cookie notice) upon the user’s first visit, implement a cookie policy and allow the user to provide consent – unless your website uses solely exempt cookies, which is highly unlikely. Prior to consent, no cookies — except for those exempt — should run or be installed.

          Yes, and? That reinforces what I’m saying. As long as they don’t install the cookies, the user can browse the site without seeing the banner. Therefore if the user blocks the banner, they can’t install the cookies, that doesn’t mean they can’t show the user the site.

          Not sure what’s hard to understand here.
