Do you need consent for UID?
Yes. UID is a "Marketing" cookie, so it is not strictly necessary. Under the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and Romania's Law 506/2004, you must obtain the visitor's explicit consent before setting it.
This is general guidance, not legal advice — always verify with a lawyer.
