Ah, yes, but as far as I know the bar stating it is new.
And I assume the cookies associated with it are new.
While I accept a cookie has enhanced my experience before I don't think this new bar or the new cookies are doing so.

Correct on all counts, as far as I can tell (I haven't actually seen the bar, but again, I've got GameFAQs locked down so hard it barely runs and that tends to suppress overlays like that). Having a statement somewhere admitting to using cookies and explaining what they do has been standard for websites for close to ten years now (I don't remember exactly what case it was that catalyzed it, but there was a big digital privacy suit that resulted in all websites having to be transparent about what data they're collecting), and I'm guessing this is just Fandom tacking on their established way of doing that instead of whatever GameFAQs had before (which is probably buried in their privacy statement).

It's likely that there are new cookies being installed, because Fandom do be like that, but I rather doubt any of the new ones will enhance the experience.
