The site of Cookie Consent tells me that in Germany, I need to offer an opt-out on cookies.
That, however, is impossible, as any decision made by the visitor has to be recorded in a cookie or it's lost on the next request.
So what does this mean? Is Cookie Consent wrong about the requirement, is the requirement inherently nonsensical or did I overlook something here?
Some types of cookies including user input cookies which are valid for the duration of the session are exempt from the cookie consent law. What this means is that you may use a cookie to identify if cookies have been consented to or not for the duration of the session for the user.
