Description Marcel de Rooy 2025-08-27 11:55:28 UTC
It feels a bit strange to Accept essential cookies. If you dont accept, they work anyway. And if you can accept, you would expect a reject either. But you cant reject them: they are essential and the code just uses them. If there are no additional non-essential cookies, it feels like the bar just needs a OK button to dismiss a message that there are only essential cookies. (This dismissal is not an accept.)
