But that's not how GDPR works, if I agree to use a service it does not mean I agree to be tracked for a "more personalized experience". Facebook is even worse,

Facebook is even worse, they track me without me even having any interaction with them prior.
- kristianc 8y agoThat’s exactly how GDPR works - Google will say that they are protected under the legitimate interest exemption.
- Drakim 8y agoReally, Google tracks me while I'm visiting a non-Google website (!!!), and they expect to be protected as having a "legitimate interest exception"? Unless Google can successfully argue that every action, every step, every breath I take, is now a business transaction with them because I made a google account, then they don't have a "legitimate interest exception" for jack shit.
- kristianc 8y agoGoogle is an advertising company and uses legitimate interests as a legal basis for collection when using personal data for activities such as serving contextual ads, ads reporting and to combat fraud and abuse. As for the third party website using third cookies etc to transact with Google, you have a choice whether to consent to that with the publisher.
- Drakim 8y agoBy that logic GDPR actually doesn't affect a single company in the world, because by having an affect on the company, it will impact their legitimate business interests, and thus they will be exempt from GDPR. I'm a company that forwards your postbox content to your house, and I also sell your nighttime movement data that I've harvested from GPS though my delivery app. Totally exempt from the GDPR since it's part of my core business to silently sell your data.
