Interactive cookie notices on independent blogs scare me, like, literally. I'm just reading your words. Why do I need to accept anything? I will never comment. I'll email you directly. I'm reading you via RSS feed because it's easy. You don't need to know that I visited hot chocolate chips dot com yesterday or the fact I like to buy book bundles on Audible. Also, if you have to sell my data to keep your website alive, then you don't deserve a website. If you have only essential cookies, you don't need that cookie consent but you do need to have it clear in your privacy policy and or elsewhere on your website you use essential cookies.

Organizations that only use essential cookies do not need to get consent before using cookies. However, they do need to have a Cookie Notice to inform users about why they use essential cookies.

Regardless of the types of cookies you use, if you are subject to the GDPR you need to comply with the law's data handling requirements pertaining to personal data, including maintaining a Cookie Notice that explains your reasons for using cookies.
