It comes after the Markdown serving plugin. This post describes what it will do, and it will be updated as it is built.</p> <p>Under the EU&rsquo;s ePrivacy rules and the GDPR, a site needs consent before it sets cookies that aren&rsquo;t strictly necessary: analytics, advertising, embedded third-party content. Most sites handle it with a consent platform loaded as a script, which adds weight to every page and only works as well as the site&rsquo;s code that is supposed to wait for it.</p>
