 This enhancement:

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/56074

 Has resulted in WordPress, by default, writing to session storage on page
 load, without the viewer's consent, this is a compliance issue for GDPR
 (Europe) / CCPA (USA) as consent has to be obtained before storing data on
 an end user's device (cookies, local storage, session storage and anything
 similar).

 As a compliance issue this could result in fines for those using WordPress
 in live sites.
