You don't know why you don't ask women if they're pregnant?
Tis is not not ok, actually. I'm a software dev for a European company. I'm briefed by our lawyers.
"Legitimate use" isn't just a phrase from cookie law, it has a very specific meaning.
What's legitimate use? Well, any data I necessarily have to store for our business relation I can store. For as long as I need it. For example: You want me to send you something? Gonna need to store your address. After I sent the package I don't have any need for your address any more so I'd need your explicit consent to store it longer.
Another example for what is considered personal data: IP addresses. Which I store for as long as you watch my site, so that would be another example for a legitimate reason to store personal data.
Still I don't get why they display this banner. To my knowledge it's not necessary to inform the user about storage for legitimate reasons.
All that said, there's plenty of examples of companies illegitimately storing personal data, google is a good example they were sued only yesterday (fitbit)
