Comment (by azaozz):

 > I also wonder if name="cookies" is too general name.

 I was thinking the same. It's true the other form fields have very generic
 names, but they have been like that for... ages. Perhaps the name and id
 of the checkbox should be specific, for example `wp-comment-cookies-
 consent`.

 @lakenh thanks for the patch. Looks good except perhaps replacing the
 `name` (I can do that).

 I don't have strong feelings whether this is opt-in or opt-out. Seems both
 make this GDPR compliant (inform the user and ask for consensus). These
 cookies are purely for convenience and are "always on" at the moment.
 Perhaps having an opt-out is more logical?
