Why there is no consent banner
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) require consent before storing information on your device, unless the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for. The session cookie is what lets the service you subscribed to recognise you. Keeping the design you are working on is what makes Gobo Designer a design tool rather than a page that forgets everything on reload. Paddle's cookies are needed to take a payment you have chosen to make. None is used for tracking, measurement or advertising, so there is nothing else to ask you about.
