Couldn't all these 'pick cookies' dashboards be integrated in the browser without running in the same issue ?

- Nextgrid 6y agoThe problem is that the GDPR consent prompts ask for tracking/data processing consent regardless of any technical methods like cookies, local storage or browser fingerprinting. A browser implementing a cookie consent UI would not fully solve the problem because websites might still want to track you through other means (browser fingerprinting, server-side analytics, etc) and if they want to respect the regulation then they still need to ask for consent.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoWell, this would still offload most of it to the browser, and I guess that plenty of websites (especially smaller ones, for which GDPR compliance is likely to be a heavy drag) do not use these other means ?
