"Good news: we removed all cookie banners from GitHub! 🎉"
"We find cookie banners quite irritating, so we decided to look for a solution. After a brief search, we found one: just don’t use any non-essential cookies. Pretty simple, really."

@fribbledom Note so called "essential" cookies can still provide tracking information. The post says GitHub isn't "sending" information to "third party analytics services" (note the very specific reference), which is different than saying they're banning the collection of the data. Also GitHub now being owned by Microsoft removes Microsoft as a third party. This is basically just an announcement that says, "We've found some loopholes that allow us to remove cookie banners."
