How showing ads is against GDPR? You still can show ads, you just need consent for tracking users. If they are going out of business because of GDPR they were not just showing ads.
- lajhsdfkl 9y agoThere are no ads without tracking.
- saratogacx 9y agoAds existed before tracking. DDG uses ads based on the page content, not what is known about the user. This is actually how ads were before everyone went tracking-happy. It is a model I prefer simply because it is more inline with the content I'm viewing. I'm more willing to let those ads get whitelisted because they're more likely to be related to the content I'm looking at and less about "what do we think saratogacx really wants today based on all of the data across the web."
- ozim 9y agoYou don't have CTR in newspapers and people still buy adverts in those.
- AlexandrB 9y ago> There are no ads without tracking. I can definitively say you're wrong because I saw a billboard on my way to work today. Also, in the early internet days tracking was referred to as spyware and security software would uninstall it from your machine.
