I imagine they’re using analytics to improve the website, not to sell you more medicine. Imagine running a hospital without knowing where you had queues, people getting lost, broken doorways, etc. Analytics is just that.
I guess you’re worried about it being used more nefariously, especially by the third-party trackers themselves. If so, I’m also a little concerned about that, but I think the good probably outweighs the bad.
- VonGallifrey 8y agoI mean they literally have Google and Microsoft analytics cookies in there. I am aware that they are doing this to improve their website, but I don't get why so many are saying that it is because of the EU law or that it is a bad law. Yes they have to show this dialog because of the law, but they decided that it is worth it for their analytics. That was their decision. They could also have said that they would be fine with less analytics and less tracking and gotten rid of the dialog. It can also not see why it is a bad law since it is exactly doing what it is supposed to do: Prevent or inform about tracking by the Tech giants. M$ and Google don't really have a huge amount of trust from the general public that their tracking is the good kind.
