Comment (by lakenh):

 Replying to [comment:4 pputzer]:
 > I don't think conflating consent for two separate issues (cookies and
 Gravatar.com integration) is a good idea. I might want to have those
 cookies in my browser, but not share my email with the world (i.e.
 gravatars). It might also run afoul of the "coupling prohibition" in GDPR.

 Fair point in regards to the conflation issue.

 Though, there has been talk of removing the need for cookies entirely in
 commenting for logged out users. I don't recall what tickets or slack
 discussions that was in, though.
