Next time you return with no cookies they have no way knowing it's you even if you keep the IP address.
The way to know if someone gave consent if by looking at the cookie.
- probably_wrong 6y agoBut that's exactly the OPs point: with browser fingerprinting, they could know it's you even if you have no cookies, because they could have enough information to identify you anyway. Sure, you deleted your cookies, but since you agreed to be tracked anyway they can do it via other means. Unless you mean that consent must be stored as a cookie because the law says so. If that's the case my comment doesn't apply, but I'm not sure whether that is what you mean.
- Nextgrid 6y agoEven if consent is stored in a cookie, given that you always accept, they can use fingerprinting right after you pressed accept the second time to link all your sessions together even if consent itself is indeed stored as cookies.
- masklinn 6y agoThey can fingerprint your browser when you accept, and when you come back after having cleared your cookies and accept again, match the two fingerprints and know you've come back.
