I tried to opt out of tracking in some GDPR form yesterday, and it wouldn’t let me do it because my browser doesn’t support third party cookies. So ironically, you need cookies to track who doesn’t want to be tracked.
As to your specific question, do you realize what a PITA that would be to manually accept every single cookie in your browser? It’s bad enough clicking through the GDPR forms on every single site I visit.
A much better solution would be to actually respect the DNT (do not track) header. If I have DNT enabled, why do I need to open a form and deselect 100 trackers on every website? I’ve already said I do not want to be tracked; that should be sufficient to automatically opt me out of all tracking.
- radium3d 8y agoI agree it would be annoying, but not as annoying as what we have now. This is why I suggested one consistent ui across all websites is a better solution vs every site having their own random individual solution when they all have the same requirements. Do Not Track is not effective because you leave the trust in the website owner vs your own control via the browser. It seems the GDPR is suggesting that this is a necessary evil but it still puts the trust outside of the user's power.
