Comment (by pputzer):

 Replying to [comment:17 mirkoschubert]:
 > 2. If comment cookies are used, there should be a user consent - cf.
 Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. That's the checkbox for.

 It could be argued that they are technically necessary for a part of the
 comment functionality and therefore covered under 6(1)(b). I'm not sure I
 agree with this argument, but I'd like to highlight that "consent" might
 not be the only reasonable lawful basis for data processing in this case.
