The difference is this: a website tracking you while you're there is just using their own data.
FB, Google, twitter get data from all the websites which make the error of using their scripts: be it analytics, social buttons or "login with whatever". Everytime you use assets hosted by a third party they get free data about your users. Every time you use a third party service you're giving data about your users.
- Symbiote 9y agoI don't think that's the case. Facebook's ad/privacy page told me KLM had shared data with Facebook. I don't remember agreeing to that, I'm diligent at unticking the box or whatever, but in any case, I doubt it only goes one way. KLM's website includes at least 15 trackers. I'm looking forward to 25 May. I will write to all these companies, and demand that they stop sharing my data.

- christudor 9y agoI suspect most big companies will have teams set up whose only job is to respond to GDPR-related requests.
