Meta: Why do you link to medium when the articles are also posted on your website, which I assume is the canonical version if there were a discrepancy?
Also, I reviewed your privacy policy and while I am not a lawyer, I believe your cookie popup is not unnecessary. As far as I understand GDPR, it is not necessary to ask for consent separately if the cookies you're setting are strictly used to fulfil an explicit request. Eg, if a user checks "stay logged in", you don't need to ask separately to set a "wordpress_logged_in_xxxxx" cookie; the user already gave their consent by checking the box. Same with a session cookie when they log in, or a cookie for persisting settings. Not to mention, I there's no prominent log in link, so I'm guessing you are the only one who does that, in which case you'll never be setting cookies on other people's computers anyway :)
These things still need to be described in your privacy policy, but you don't need to bother users with them; you only need the consent box when you're using cookies for something the user doesn't explicitly request, like tracking (regardless of whether it's a discrete tracking cookie or you're using their login cookie to do it). I didn't see any of these things in your website privacy policy.
Not needing to bother your readers with consent popups is a great advantage that the GDPR gives privacy-respecting websites like yours!
Thanks! That tip about the popup is good. I'll remove it.
I would be happy to link to my regular site, but I assume that people prefer Medium; I guess because of the standardized layout (which I don't love), and the ability to use apps and semantic API hooks.
There are a few series on my site that are not available on Medium [0][1][2][3][4][5]
