Hi –
The banner is a cookie consent banner, not a privacy consent banner. Our users agree to our Privacy Policy as part of the Terms of Service agreed to at sign up.
The cookies & consent banner is about consenting to the cookies we set that allow us to track you for the purpose of showing you targeted ads instead of generic ones.
If you are in the EU and you don’t want to be tracked in order to be shown ads targeted to your interests then you have to live with the banner. There is no way to dismiss it other than consenting to the cookie.

@koolbeanz247 it helps determine whether your site shows ads meant to be more relevant to you, or whether it shows generic ads. You can click the cookie policy to read more details.

It only affects what types of ads we show visitors to your site, as @supernovia said above, so no, it won’t affect the way your site looks or works in any way.

That has nothing to do with cookies.
When you link to a post on another WordPress.com site, we send a notification to that site that you linked to their post, and they have the option to display that notification as a comment on their post, thereby linking back to your site in return.
Likewise, when someone links to a post on your site, you get a notification and can display that pingback on your post.
You can control whether or not your site sends out pingbacks from your site discussion settings, and whether or not you allow incoming pingbacks in the editor for individual posts.
Trackbacks are essentially the same, except they are for non-WordPress sites, so follow a slightly different process.
