I don’t want the web advertising industry to go away. It’s benign. If you don’t want advertisers to track you you have the option to default browse without cookies. Even better, default browse without cookies and JavaScript. Yes, I do this.
If you understand how cookies work then this is a perfectly viable option for you. If you don’t, you likely don’t care about advertisers tracking you.
- Cederfjard 6y agoI disagree with your last statement. People may care about being tracked even though they don’t understand the mechanism, or even that it’s happening.
- CyberRabbi 6y agoWell I just think that if you aren’t aware you are being tracked, you probably don’t really care too much. People who care they are being tracked will take the time to learn how stop being tracked. That’s why I learned about cookies etc. I think this is probably a way for google to assert further control over the advertising industry, using the guise of improving user privacy. Like I said, most users don’t really care because if they did they would just disable cookies, so I think they are solving a problem no one is actually having and that seems suspicious.
