when a user logs in, it's consent
when a user sends a http request to a remote server with a client that saves cookies on their behalf, it's not consent?
not arguing with you, per se, I just don't understand how sending a request to someone else has somehow become "involuntary" under the law. the server didn't come looking for you, your program asked it to send you the cookie.
- chmod775 7y agoOne cookie is required to provide the functionality I asked for, the other isn't. When I say "GET /some-information-on-topic" I did not ask you to track me, I asked you for information on "topic". When I say "POST /login", I want you to log me in.
- jstrong 7y agoright but the cookie request can just as easily be ignored if you'd like. there's no gun to your head to "take this cookie OR ELSE!" if you walk into the local deli and there's a sign-up sheet to receive updates about the store, is that coercion?
