Here's what ChatGPT shown me as summary of their Privacy policy: Analytics and Third-Party Services They use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how users interact with their services. These tools may collect anonymized or aggregated data, such as IP addresses or browsing behavior, but not personally identifiable information unless you've explicitly consented. Cookies and Tracking: Their cookies track usage patterns on their platform, which could include data about visited pages, clicks, or time spent on the site. However, this data is anonymized unless tied to your account or explicitly authorized.
^^ let's just trust em, right? or no? Ping me if that ended up being a no-no as I decide to continue using the app.

A real-world example of this would be an e-commerce site that allows users to “hold” items in their cart while they’re using the site or for the duration of a session. In this scenario, the technical cookies are both necessary for the functioning of the purchasing service and are explicitly requested by the user when they indicate that they would like to add the item to the cart. Do note, however, that these session-based technical cookies are not tracking cookies.
I'm not sure I agree with this:
[the technical cookies] are explicitly requested by the user when they indicate that they would like to add the item to the cart.
The only thing they requested was that the item be held in a cart for them. They didn't explicitly request that cookies be used to store information about items in the cart. They most likely don't understand all of the options for how to store data like this, and certainly wouldn't know or expect specifically that cookies be used for this.
In fact, localStorage could be used instead. If it's a single-page app, then even that would be necessary; it could all be kept in page-local variables until they checked out (all on the same page); such that reloading the page would cause the cart data held in those variables to be lost.

Google uses cookies like NID and SID to help customize ads on Google properties, like Google Search. For example, we use such cookies to remember your most recent searches, your previous interactions with an advertiser’s ads or search results, and your visits to an advertiser’s website. This helps us to show you customized ads on Google.

Most Google users will have a preferences cookie called ‘NID’ in their browsers. A browser sends this cookie with requests to Google’s sites. The NID cookie contains a unique ID Google uses to remember your preferences and other information, such as your preferred language (e.g. English), how many search results you wish to have shown per page (e.g. 10 or 20), and whether or not you wish to have Google’s SafeSearch filter turned on.
They seem to claim (or hope that their description will make you think) that ‘NID’ is only used for storing preferences, but if you read further down, you see that it's also used for targeting.
These should be separate cookies since they have separate purposes, and since under GPDR we have to get separate consent for each purpose of cookie.

YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode basically means they do not store visitor’s information if you have a YouTube video on your website, unless they actually click on the video to view it.

Many people see tracking cookies as an invasion of privacy since they allow a site to build up profiles on users without their consent.
-
YouTube's default setting is to leave privacy-enhanced mode off. This allows them to place a tracking cookie on any computer that a viewer uses to visit your webpage.

The problem is that even if the visitor is not watching the video or interacting with it, in any capacity, YouTube still collects and stores data on them. Not cool.This is done using cookies that are placed on the user’s browser the moment they load a webpage with a YouTube video embedded in it. These cookies are used to track users, serve targeted ads (Google’s bread and butter), and add info to user’s profile. Yes, they have profiles on everyone.

Default YouTube video embeds set cookies on user systems as soon as they open web pages with embedded YouTube videos. Google may use the cookie to deliver targeted advertisement, add information to the user's profile, or track the user.

I've tested it and it won't load NID cookie, so no need to get consent for it.
