If you open the website the first time, even without login, the cookie request appear and if you check by default is set to advertisement when the GDPR explicit say the default option should be required only (and looking at the webpage should not require any cookies IMHO)
Hmm never seen a cookie request even with all the caches etc cleared.
Maybe more detail in case its a browser I dont use etc etc.

try using "private" mode. If that still does not appear, then is even worse, could be a specif bug but need to be fixed too.

thanks for posting the screenshot, it is exactly what i meant
Think it is "locale" specific.
It would make more sense
? ? ?
i have same result on Ubuntu+Chrome
None of that crap here in NZ (yet).
Does this have to do with that stupid ass-covering EU cookie law?
Every dumbass must know by now that every site tries to sell your information to whoever wants to pay for it.
If you don't want that, you shouldn't use the internet at all.
Leo..
Its an EU directive I think.
Dont ask me what I thinks of the EU as pigs in a trough sucking in member states money like its thier own piggy bank comes to mind, while making up rules without more than a brain cells worth of information to do it.

I am a strong supporter of the EU. I would be interested to hear if you have any evidence to justify your viewpoint.
And I certainly don't think that rules aimed at protecting our privacy by requiring explicit consent to cookies are a bad thing. If they don't have equivalent rules in your country then shame on your law makers.

Unfortunately Robin the reports of misspending and lack of accounts or accountability are everywhere.
Going so far as in some cases to self justification that they dont need to comply with accounting rules.
Even thier own accounts teams are at a loss on it
Point is how can you make rules for others when you dont follow rules in the first place ?

I have not studied your link but, even if it is correct, where do they do that sort of thing better?
...R
Major difference between "minor" accounting errors and over 400 BILLION methinks Robin.
So as to where they do better leaves a lot of options on the table from business to as far as countries even.
But YES I get your drift and the US is first to mind as to how not to do business in politricks
ballscrewbob:
But YES I get your drift
Thank you.

My problem with laws like these ...
I see that you wisely deleted the the bit about leaving the judges to figure it out for themselves 
...R
Delta_G:
No, I still think letting judges decide what is or is not a scam is better than trying to anticipate the laws.
Judges are not immune from bribery and corruption any more than anyone else. Among other things laws allow us to hold the judges to account.
However my comment about laws to regulate cookies arose from concerns about breaches of privacy rather than the activity of criminal scammers. of course if it make life a bit more difficult for the scammers, so much the better.
...R
Delta_G:
Yes judge says can be bribed. But which is worse, a local judge gets bribed and the people in one town suffer for it, or a legislator gets bribed and everyone in the whole country suffers for it?
The difference is that judges often work alone whereas legislators (in democracies) don't.
I am not claiming the "rule" system is perfect, or even good - just the best that is available. And I have no doubt that there are some silly laws, and laws that people don't like, but having been a civil servant helping to create laws I do believe that the people who create them do so with the best of intentions.
...R
And if you dig even just a little you will see they have already found ways around the EU rules from as far back as 2013. Well before the rule was implemented.
I do believe that the people who create them do so with the best of intentions.
Like the EU "standardised cabbage" ? Or the EU "curvature of bananas allowed to be sold" rules ?
Both of which were modified quite quickly as rules would go.
Now don't get me wrong here as the ORIGINAL INTENTION of the EU was a fine thing for a "COMMON MARKET" but it has burgeoned out of control with almost zero accountability and become a bureaucratic nightmare.
Time for a complete REBOOT !
Delta_G:
The whole thing is broken.
Let me know when you get it fixed.

is not about cookie, the GDPR is about tracking any personal information, and he fine are up to 5% of global yearly profit. You may be ok to have internet counting how hairy is your back, here in EU we don-t like it and trying to change the game
Delta_G:
Sure you've made people tell when they're using cookies
you are confusing the GDPR (new) with the old cookie law. The GDPR is not only about cookie or even internet, but about privacy in all its form, like how company has to keep save personal information about its emploee, customer, and all this kind of stuff. Please before giving sentence be sure you know what you are talking about.
́@Delta_G: EU may not be perfect, but to have some chance to stay relevant against the political and economical power like US, Russia, China, India... you cant't only think of your garden hoping what happen around you will never influence you.
Hopefully before we will have a "global order" we will have escaped this gravity well.
Meanwhile i say thanks to EU for the Euro, so i can travel without problem changing money(ever had to change money? they commission are a steal!), without having to pass any frontier, of course with my free healthcare valid by default everywhere (i would need to apply if i come to US for a special extension), to place an order without paying any tax over my state VAT (30% more from china for more than ~30euro order), that I can work and live abroad without any special permission/green card or such (and i guess my boss is happy too), that my mobile internet offer is valid in any state for no cost (ah the day to find a free wifi to check for a nice place to eat, find an alternative for a cancelled train, or simply tell your love you arrive and all is fine).. and those are only the thing i directly deal with day by day.
Wait I have hair on my back !
Dang I never knew that but it will be a low count anyway 
Tie knots on the chest ones so they dont sneak back in...up to about 6 now.
