Implemented Cookie Notice must not hide footer links

[Kirby]

I am sorry and I'd like to apologize. I know that such suggestions are a major PITA and that they sound just plain ridiculous (I wouldn't even argue that this one does not sound ridiculous), but:
The cookie notice should not hide the footer links like privacy policy, contact us, terms of service and about us (imprint).

Over the years, there have been quite a few court decisions in Germany (inccluding on by our federal court) that pages like Privacy policy and About us/Imprint must be quickly reachable (which is commonly accepted to be at most 2 clicks from any page) and that (intermediate) links must be obvious and easily identifiable.

As the cookie notice does hide the footer links, there is no "easy way" to reach those pages within 2 clicks as having to click "Accept" (which hides the notice and revveals the footer links = 2 clicks) or "Learn more" (which leads to a page with links to the privacy policy = 2 clicks) might not be considered an "abvious action" by the courts.

I therefore suggest to change the behaviour so that the body can be scrolled fully to he bottom so the links do become visible by scrolling just as they would if there was no notice.

.notice--cookie { height: 100vh }

I was a little nicer, I think I used 80vh. Don't remember, it was only for a laughable test.

You realize things like GDPR are why American internet companies either shy away or leave Europe?

Thats funny... and you realize who how many people use your american facebook? More european as american. So please inform you. Thanks.

Enough, please. This is a suggestion thread so unless the discussion relates specifically to the suggested functionality, it doesn't belong in this thread. Arguably, opinionated and potentially highly charged topics such as politics don't belong on the forum at all, so lets bear that in mind before starting an endless debate to which there won't be a consensus.
