“gstatic.com is a cookieless domain to deliver static content for Google. ” – that is not true. I recently did a cookie audit in lieu of the GDPR which comes into effect in May on one of the wordpress sites I operate and both CONSENT and NID cookies are being set when static content is loaded, as reported by Chrome (domain=.gstatic.com; path=/). The site uses Google Captcha (reCaptcha) and its use is clearly causing these cookies to be set.
When i check my page speed its show gstatic.

Google’s Corporate identity closely follows the public’s understañding of the term STATIC,as also g’static or G’static,
The punctuation mark is to resolve accents and in Canada its is also the basis of phonics ,a system used to teach vernacular children of parents who are immigrants,with some or no knowledge of spoken English that is clear for international English language understanding,as most of those immigrants are refugees of natural calamities and civil wars in many faraway lands .
The science of such language or linguists, is the dimensional variations of capillary tubing of those racial humans not limiting this theory to strength and neutrino,another of those considered criteria ,so static is singular in nature as also a part of human salt or salinity of the liquids in human body,and so to sum it up stick,stature,and satuesqeness of both human females and males can improve if this general understanding of G-g static is understood better and a future opening in further knowledge will only help this cause.
