    Also I’m 99% sure from the legal perspective of the consent banner legislation, tracking user journeys like you describe is specifically not “essential” functionality and must be consented to.

    Article 6, no. 1 lit a) GDPR:

    [Processing shall be lawful] for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller […] except where such interests are overridden by the interests […] of the data subject

    I’ll say it’s at least debatable how the controller’s and the data subject’s interest should be weighed.

      Besides complying with the GDPR, to my knowledge, they also need to comply with the stricter German TDDDG, since I am a German user.
