Luckily, GDPR isn't about cookies, it's about processing personal information. Doesn't matter if you use cookies, localstorage, or carrier pigeon.

The older EU 'cookie directive' only mentions cookies as an example of storage in a footnote. The regulative is actually about any storage on the users computer.

Marketers would like you to believe that the stupid banners are about cookies. They're not - they're about processing your personal information.
