> Great, so about:addons doesn’t use tracking Google Analytics cookies anymore? Or has a visible way to disable it (you need to enable DNT to get rid of this). I can imagine this being legitimate interest, can be disabled with DNT flag, and it's not personal data. Mozilla signed a legal contract with Google which prevents Google from using this information. > EDIT 3: See also https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/ which explains that Nightly and Beta always send telemetry, which can not be turned off in any way, and your only way to avoid it is to stop using the product, which again violates the GDPR section on "free consent". Options -> "Privacy & Security" > "Nightly Data Collection and Use" Also, it uses word "automatically", not "always", and "Learn more" link on this page tells you how to disable that. Additionally, telemetry information is NOT personal data - it stores information like how many times you have opened web browsers, how many tabs do you use, but it doesn't send personal data. Crash reports may contain personal data, but even on nightly, they aren't automatically submitted.

Mozilla signed a legal contract with Google which prevents Google from using this information. Still it would require at least a cookie notice. > Options -> "Privacy & Security" > "Nightly Data Collection and Use" That does not disable all telemetry, there were a few discussions about this on the bugtracker, in Nightly, some kinds of telemetry can not even disabled through about:config as they are set to "locked: true".

    Do Not Track should work on addons page, if it doesn't, it's a bug. Telemetry settings however don't work unfortunately :(.

  > Still it would require at least a cookie notice. Fair enough, I'm actually somewhat curious why Mozilla doesn't provide a cookie notice. Not that it matters, because those notices are used everywhere and people ignore them.
