If I decline the collection of cookies via your popup, then I can't view the site? I believe that's in violation of something, and also really lame.

Edit: Here's the actual text from the GDPR rules (EU)

"The emphasis on “specific website content” clarifies that websites should not make conditional “general access” to the site on acceptance of all cookies but can only limit certain content if the user does not consent to cookies (e.g.: for e-commerce websites, whose main purpose is to sell products, not accepting (non-functional) cookies should not prevent a user from buying products on this website)."

Cool thanks and awesome project =)
