Apparently the eu official website really needs to track you then. For what’s essentially just static content. I’ll consider dropping cookies banner when their website can work without. Stop the “do as I say not as I do”
replyEU official website in it’s cookie banner glory: https://european-union.europa.eu/index_fr
They apparently hired incapable people to build that. Very silly to build it in a way that kind runs contrary to what the intentions of the very laws they are making are.
replyI get similarly upset, when I see Google tracking on official websites of government or public institutions.

replyWrong.
replyNot wrong in the EU, you don't need to ask for consent nor notify about cookies which are required to make the site functional. Tracking and ads don't fall under that though, which is why every site these days does need to ask for your consent.
replyNo, you need to always ask for consent for cookies if they come from a third party, regardless if they are only required to enable functionality.
You also need to ask for consent each time data leaves the website (for example when loading an image from a third party host). You can't even load a font file from a third party server because the users IP reaches that server without consent.
Cookie banners don't just handle third party tracking cookies, the are needed to record consent for a huge variety of cases. "Banning tracking cookies" does not remove the need for cookie banners.
replyWell if the cookie comes from a third party it implicitly allows tracking.
replyAlso AFAIK the Google Fonts question (is the IP alone already PII, if Google has no way of tying the IP to a person) has not been decided by the ECJ yet. There've only been decisions by lower level German courts that are still in dispute.
