 Hey there,

 with this change, I believe,
 (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58663), a cookie
 wpEmojiSettingsSupports  was introduced in default WordPress
 installations, which breaks the GDPR regulations in Europe by default.

 Please make this optional and off by default - this seriously risks the
 GDPR compliance in standard installations from the very first second. We
 already nearly faced fines in Germany due to an Elementor Pro cookie being
 automatically set and Elementor ignores the issue to this date, for users
 in Europe having to resort to hoping, that custom coding scripts won't
 break (see here for reference:
 https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/7151 ).

 Warm regards and thanks for all your hard work,
 Georg
