That sounds more open to failure than simply not tracking people who haven't opted in though.

- bryanrasmussen 6y agoyeah but there is such a thing in computing as legacy decisions and I'm pretty sure the addition of tracking pixels is legacy in that they were added before GDPR back in the dark ages when everyone thought surely we'll be allowed to track every person and sell their data as much as we want forever! So now you find out you're not allowed to track if someone hasn't opted in. But because of reasons it is difficult for you to fix the thing that puts in the tracking pixel of pixels. So you leave those in place, and you do a check on the server when that pixel gets requested as to whether or not that user should be tracked, and figure that will be good enough.
