Lately GitHub is introducing several new features on its website, such as a dark mode in the main portal of the page, or a method to automatically check the code for vulnerabilities. However, in a GitHub blog post we have seen interesting news, and that is that have managed to avoid the appearance of those annoying notices in which we are informed of cookies used by the different web pages we visit for different purposes, as explained later.

The way in which they have achieved it is very simple , and to the surprise of some, it is contemplated in European laws, and it is simply not to use unnecessary cookies for the operation of the web , thus removing advertisements or other content that uses cookies to track us during our browsing sessions.

GitHub mentions that they will continue to work to protect the privacy of developers who use GitHub for their projects, and add that they will extend privacy protections from the European Union to all GitHub users , regardless of their location, thus making GitHub a safe place for everyone.
