Unless they do browser fingerprinting, the number will be overinflated by all the people like me who clear their cookies regularly, if not on every browser session, and are therefore re-asked consent on every single visit.
- innocenat 6y agoI'd imagine the people who do that to be a very small percentage.
- lysium 6y agoI know many people who only browse in incognito mode.
- smilespray 6y agoI do, too, but fingerprinting still works for these people. In fact, using Incognito Mode is part of the fingerprint.
- afiori 6y agothat should not matter, the obvious choice would be to ask every time until they say yes. It is also the simpler choice, if the user opts out of all tracking then you cannot track their choice.

- afiori 6y agoif the users opts out of your opt-in pop up, then :) > saving a cookie no_consent=true does not require consent by the user. that's the type of cookie easily classified as functional/necessary It looks like an unusual choice for the website. Assuming that the intention of the website is to use all the trackers that it is asking to use going out of their way not to ask the user to be tracked seems counterproductive. Sure the website is also interested in not annoying the users to death, but then it sounds a better idea to offer less invasive prompts and more informed choices than a blanket yes/no. Here again I feel like gitlab made fanstastic choices for their prompt.
