It’s the most ironic part of GDPR. To avoid annoying the user, you have to set a cookie to remember that they don’t want you using cookies.
We should’ve encouraged everyone to re-implement the “DNT” request header, or something similar. Much simpler for the site owners/devs, much more convenient for end-users.
In EU law you do not have to ask for consent about storing preferences. Just for processing personal data, including IP address.
So if they would not process personal data, everything would be fine.

The gdpr isn’t about cookies, it’s about tracking. Yes you should remember not to track if the user said so. Nothing ironic here.
