This is correct in GDPR. This is why you can’t use something like LocalStorage, ETags or something else as a loophole.

No, you can't, because the law concerns itself with data storage and processing, not whether you are using a cookie.

Ah that was a brain fart moment, sorry. I meant to say you cannot use, GDPR is something I handle daily. Thanks for correcting, I amended the answer.

This is not correct, in the UK at least. Similar technologies like LocalStorage fall under cookie law. [1]

Parent edited their comment from "can" to "can't", and I got downvoted, yikes.
