Required details and cookies
Your company name, registered address and company ID must be on the site. If you collect data through a form or measure traffic, you also need a privacy notice.
For cookies, the rule in the EU is simple. You can use strictly necessary cookies without asking. Everything else, typically analytics and advertising, needs consent first. Hence the cookie banner, where visitors must also be able to say no.
