List of strictly necessary cookies (BBC)

bbc.com

OP here: why does a page like BBC strictly need so many cookies. I'm not a logged in user and still parts like loginCookies is needed etc. It should be able to run a page like BBC without any cookie whatsoever.

This approach is questionable under the renewed EU court statement and one can only set cookies after agreeing to the banner.

I agree most of these don't appear necessary, have you thought to contact the DPO, wait 28 days and if no suitable response, contact the ICO?

Also, do you have a link to the EU court guidance?

From what I've read before, some functionally necessary and expected cookies don't need consent, but the user may have a right to be informed.

For instance, a login cookie might be fine, but arguably only if you have logged in - if it remains after you've logged out then that's a bit worrying.
