Cookie Consent feels like it punishes the good site owners
thanks. I've been out of the whole web loop for years and am just wrapping my head around all of these latest developments. I get what you are saying. My money is tight and it's nice to have a feature like this at the CDN. I wasn't anticipating a huge drop in analytics information simply due to trying to be proactive in the US ahead of most other websites. It's almost as if by accepting a good practice, you get punished from a traffic and SEO standpoint.
