Do We Need to Show GDPR Cookie Disclaimers to USA Traffic?

[CaptainHustle]

Is the GDPR cookie consent disclaimer important or necessary if 98% of your visitors are from the US? I am on shared hosting and I would rather use as few plugins as I possibly can. Not to mention, the disclaimer itself is a huge pain for the UX.

You do not have to show it to USA users. In fact you do not have to show it at all if you are not setting tracking cookies. People showing that popup are using the laziest way of consent.

Most people didn’t bother reading the document and just read summaries from bloggers who took the lazy route. Just like the SEO industry does, listen to gurus without double checking.
