This looks like it could be very valuable for quite a lot of people- thank you for making it!

Just a couple first impressions from your site... loading it on a phone, the first thing I see is this: https://imgur.com/4maP1vV

(1) The entire contents of the site is completely covered by a cookie warning. This is honestly quite annoying even for an SWE like me, never mind your target audience.

I know at least one older person who doesn't understand these cookie modals at all and refuses to touch them. They either continue using the site in the background without accepting/rejecting(!), or if that's not possible they just leave the site.

I'd suggest you carefully check whether you actually need this modal at all. If the only cookies you use are technically necessary, then (based on my layman understanding of the law) you don't need to show it. If you absolutely must use tracking cookies, then maybe consider a more subtle approach that allows the user to continue reading the page without deciding.

(2) "Join Now" makes it sound like I'm signing up to a subscription, rather than making a one-off payment.

People should just stop including those warnings. Unless they are a google, FB or some other juicy politically rich target for the EU to make an example of, they are a complete waste of time. Nobody is going to hassle you about it.

Unfortunately, this isn’t true. There is at least one organization out there launching privacy suits to extract settlements from small players.

Or they just stop with all this nonsense by not having third party tracking cookies in the first place. Legitimate usage of cookies doesn’t need such a banner.

Thank you so much for the feedback, that pesky banner indeed. I have fixed both issues. I mean the banner is still annoying, but way smaller.
