You see cookie alerts all over the place these days? Do you need one?

If you do business in Europe, you'll need it.

I also typically say you should build your website around the strictest of rules.

The Easiest Solution: Don't use cookies. Don't track your users

This might sound a little idealistic to some people, but I strongly suggest you don't track your users.

For analytics, track your website usage without keeping track of individual users -- use a service like Fathom to do this.
