Comment (by iandunn):

 The article that @nickwuk linked to includes this interesting quote:

 > in January 2017, the European Commission clarified the high-level
 privacy rules as follows: The so called “cookie provision”, which has
 resulted in an overload of consent requests for internet users, will be
 streamlined. New rules will allow users to be more in control of their
 settings, providing an easy way to accept or refuse the tracking of
 cookies and other identifiers in case of privacy risks.
 >
 > The proposal clarifies that '''no consent is needed for non-privacy
 intrusive cookies improving internet experience''' (e.g. to remember
 shopping cart history). Cookies set by a visited website counting the
 number of visitors to that website will no longer require consent.”
 [emphasis mine]

 I think that's something that should be carefully considered before adding
 a cookie modal to Core. I personally feel like those modals have a very
 negative impact on user experience while simultaneously failing to provide
 any kind of meaningful improvement to a user's privacy.
