Just letting know you are tracking is not enough. However, strictly necessary cookies are fine to be on by default. These are cookies that your website or app needs to use in order to perform its basic functions. For example, strictly necessary cookies may be used to remember items placed in a virtual shopping cart or to remember which page a user is on.
