- yeahitslikethat 8y agoIf you want to use a gopro on your phone you MuST agree to give then your location data. It's the only option.
- wilkskyes 8y agoWouldn't leaving the site be a valid way to opt out?
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoIs it just my limited understanding, or are a majority of companies blatantly violating GDPR? I was reading through Vox's privacy policy the other day, on a whim. (I'm in the US, but I was connected to a UK VPN at the time--so if the policy does explicitly change depending on country, they should have thought I was in the EU.) The cookie policy can be summarized as: "We use cookies to track you. If you don't want us to use cookies to track you, you can opt out by setting your browser to block all cookies." Never mind that this would cause a wide range of functionality to not work. And then there's Amazon. I desperately want Amazon to stop showing me personalized recommendations--I don't actually mind the tracking, but I feel as though recommendations push me into a filter bubble. As far as I can tell, there is zero way to do this whatsoever.
