Cookies after blocking them

I have a website ***.

I made a proper (as I think) Privacy and Cookie Policy, as well as Terms of Use. Also, there is a Cookie contest, which is visible to all the users and allows them to block the cookies.

An open-source service "cookie bot" says the website is GPRS compliant. But I still see some cookies in my browser and am afraid that my users will be not satisfied with this.

How can I fix it?

It depends on cookies, there are some cookies for functionalities that cannot be blocked without preventing the website to work (in this case the website will be compliant).

You should check what kind of cookies are still working and verify if they belong to cookies that can be blocked by users or not (tracking and statistic).

Cookies are ruled by the e-privacy directive and they are connected to GDPR through Article 13 on consent. This may the European Data Protection Board reviewed the guideline on consent under GDPR and listed cookies: https://edpb.europa.eu/our-work-tools/our-documents/guidelines/guidelines-052020-consent-under-regulation-2016679_en
