GDPR -WordPress Comments Privacy Checkbox

@Zed

is there maybe a way to remove this GDPR checkbox by adding a some code to functions.php?
I tried this snippet:

function remove_comment_fields( $fields ) {	
	unset( $fields['cookies'] );		
  	return $fields;
}
add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', 'remove_comment_fields' );

bit it didn’t work for me.
And maybe something to remove the email field as well?
I would like to remove both, the email field and GDPR checkbox, so I can avoid, that any cookies will be set (this happen only after GBPR box is checked on) and improve the privacy by not saving the email adress.
The simple removal of email field in comments.php is not working, the field still remain required and the comment will not be sent.
I tried this snippet to remove the email field:

function remove_comment_fields( $fields ) {	
	unset( $fields['email'] );
	unset( $fields['cookies'] );		
  	return $fields;
}
add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', 'remove_comment_fields' );

bit it didn’t work for me, too.
If you have some idea, I would be happy for any help.

@Zed:

thank you! It works :-).

@Bettina: Nirvana’s 1.4.5 release (published two weeks ago) includes the comment form checkbox fix.
