Totally random but why does this website need a cookie pop up? What would a Jet company need with my cross domain browsing data?

Because otherwise they would have to make sure they don’t need a cookie popup, and nobody is ever sure of that with modern marketing stacks

THIS! I put cookie popups on basically all my sites just to avoid having to screw with figuring out what minor analytics cookie might break some law somewhere.

Lazy question, but have any new products popped up in the past few years with guarantees around that question because of the apparent new market opportunities for compliant (read: less invasive / non invasive) site analytics software?

Well, they want to see what other jets you are buying and give you a good deal on in-flight entertainment, or free fuel for 2 cross Atlantic trips if you buy their jet.

They're using Hubspot as their CRM and all the tracking that comes with that.

They also use Google Fonts, which Google says is not used for tracking, but the EU disagrees.

At this point, it is probably just good practice to have it on every site. I imagine it is a default in every template now.

Good practice for whom?

Every website owner, that doesn't want to get shit on because they forgot to notify you they're dropping a cookie because they use google analytics or something else to monitor their site data.

How about stop dropping tracking cookies? Much easier.

Anyone who has a website. It is zero downside butt coverage.

The people who make the rules?

also the site is "protected" by dmca.com

Probably the same analytics/funnel bs that's everywhere these days. Though in this case the users are probably vcs not buyers.
