That is a good point. If my browser is sending a do not track header, why is your server even asking me how much tracking I want?

  Clearly they are asking because they hope that you click "Yes". Once you click "Yes" they give you a cookie and stop bugging you. It's a nasty trick of the tracking industry. GDPR does not forbid websites to ask or even deteriorate your experience (afaik). Perhaps that should change.

    GDPR does forbid providing a lesser experience for people who do not consent to tracking. (Obviously aside from the direct consequences of not having tracking, like getting different adverts.)

      Then the question is: does (needlessly) asking for permission result in a lesser experience?
      • mnw21cam 7y ago
        I like the way you're thinking there. But sadly I suspect not.
