Language preferences are (in all of the deployments I've seen) legally categorized as functional cookies and not strictly necessary cookies. Same with e.g. dark mode/light mode or other preference toggles

functional cookies would be strictly necessary cookies, wouldn't they?

  • The wording is annoying, but no. I’ve received legal advice on this topic. Functional cookies are not strictly necessary. It seems very backwards but it’s how the industry currently treats things.
