Unless they have US specific behavior. The US doesn't even require a notice, some devs just included it because they were too lazy to add geolocation.

Or because geolocation can be flaky. I’d assume management would rather comply with the GDPR requirements than risk ever getting into a lawsuit because they relied on IP geolocation.
