Oh, that’s helpful and sheds some light, thanks.
Still leaves a lot of room for interpretation, though! But it is what it is.

OK, so all the explanations I saw were vague because the law itself was vague. That looks quite like a loophole to have passed!
It seems you are confusing strictly necessary cookies with legitimate interest cookies, which are different things: https://kbin.social/m/explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world/t/466192/-/comment/2427882
It would help to clarify in the post that you’re interested in the legal aspects for the EU under the GDPR.
I had added the #GDPR tag to the question and, as far as I know, GDPR is the only regulation that requires a cookie consent banner and mentions legitimate interest cookies, but I may be wrong on that as I don’t know all the regulations around the world 😃 (and California tends to follow EU’s stances on these matters, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were baking something similar to the GDPR if they don’t have it yet).
But yeah, you are right, people from many different places around the world could be reading the question, so I must have been clear that this is specific to some local regulation. I edited the post.
That doesn’t answer the question, does it?
That’s a functional (or “strictly necessary”) cookie and those are the ones you cannot reject.
Legitimate-interest cookies are a different thing and you can indeed reject them, but they are on by default.
I know what a cookie is.
I was asking what are legitimate-interest cookies and what makes them different so they don’t need explicit consent under GDPR.
I created my account in Status.net (now GNU Social) around 2009 and later it was switched to pump.io: https://identi.ca/chuso
And Diaspora* in 2010: https://joindiaspora.com/people/4d0aa88b2c174330380001db
Like others, with not a lot success with those early projects until I joined Mastodon in 2017: @chuso
Github Copilot.
I have no idea how it works under the hood, but I guess there is some caching given how fast results are retrieved.
This appears to be related to kiwi farms?
It was originally developed by Kiwi Farms when they were running their own Mastodon instance.
They built this tool because they were being massively defederated (for obvious reasons) but eventually gave up and closed their Mastodon instance.
Since then, other instances apparently not related to Kiwi Farms (but usually still that kind of “free speech” ones) have reinstantiated the service.
It also has a slur immediately on the page you linked
Oh, yes, I haven’t seen that.
fedi-block-api already existed and works with any fediverse instance, not only Lemmy.
Then wait until you find that you can follow Lemmy/kbin communities from Mastodon and comment on Lemmy/kbin posts from your Mastodon account 🤭
No, they didn’t. Their answer was wrong.
