Why are cookies mandatory?

The reason for these legislations is that cookies collect information about the user, such as browsing habits, preferences and personal data. Since this data is considered personal information, it is important to protect users' privacy. It is also important to inform users about how their data is collected and used. Informing users about the use of cookies and seeking their consent before cookies are placed gives users more control over their privacy. They can decide if they agree to the use of cookies and what types of cookies they want to accept.

For this reason, websites are often required to display cookie banners and allow users to give their consent before cookies are placed. In this way, websites comply with legislation regarding transparency and control over users' privacy.
