 Hi.
 I have a very important question.
 The European Court of Justice has ruled that websites are now responsible
 for all internal and external cookies or affiliations (social media).

 My question is whether WordPress now incorporates a management of cookies,
 making it easier for both WordPressadmin and website visitors to
 individually allow or block each cookie.

 I think it will be very important that this feature comes from WordPress
 itself. Otherwise, every plugin will eventually have its own function,
 which makes WordPress just more vulnerable and bigger.
 It would be best if WordPress asks each plugin developer which cookies are
 collected and the system WordPress can then recognize and manage.
 In the privacy policy you can then write an explanation for each cookie or
 function and also insert a shortcut via shortcode. That would be the best
 and easiest way. Then a cookie-consents and actually everything should be
 done.

 In addition, it also comes that an attractive core element "Embed
 function" comes directly from Wordpress. And for that you need an opt-in
 now.
 This embed function must be deactivated until the visitor has specified
 that he wants to see it. It would be good if the first time a window is
 loaded, that the user has not yet allowed the display of this embed and
 that he can do it now in the privacy policy or in the Consents window.

 It seems very important that people react very quickly.
 The use of such functions is now illegal after this judgment.
