I blame bad developers for this. Marketers will always pull this shit, but a conscientious developer will ensure the browser's "Do Not Track" setting is respected.
Take note, developers; it's as simple as this:
if (!navigator.doNotTrack) { // Tracking code }

- saagarjha 6y agoYeah, except enough websites poisoned that particular well for this to not be a thing anymore.
- Chirael 6y agoThe takeaway I got from DNT is: "It doesn't work, and it just makes it easier to fingerprint you." So I used to do it, but now I don't bother and turn/leave it off.
- AustinG08 6y agoas a former developer at a marketing agency, that ain't happening
- tekknik 6y agoThis assumes we developers have a choice. It goes down like this, product team says “we need to track”, dev says “but these people have asked not to be tracked”, product says “i don’t care, do it anyway” which leaves the developer with a choice, stick to their morals, quit their job and maybe go hungry, or write the code and keep eating. If people want developers to stand up for these types of things then we need protection too
