Do you know the difference between cookies and a cookie banner? Do you understand why this site can have login sessions, and even keep track of the number of unique visitors, yet is not required to have a cookie banner?
What do you think the _ga attribute is in their cookie?
Isn't there an exception for authentication in the consent requirement, but not in the inform requirement?
Have you researched to know if this site is hosted on a US server? I wouldn't be surprised if it is and I also wouldn't be surprised if your IP address was additionally stored in a log somewhere for a period of time. In the US.
Yes but they are not tracking you with third party services, so regardless of where the server is they would not need a banner. The banner is a request for surveillance permission.
