They seem to think that people can’t really “opt out” of “tracking” (scare quotes theirs). Talk about entitled.

- dialtone 6y agoThe quotes are entirely appropriate because adding some domain to the PSL makes the subdomains siloed cookie-wise so they can't share cookies and the PSL cannot use cookies anymore. Since they can't share cookies you can't track across even the same domain when added to the PSL. This is a feature needed for sites like Rakuten, Shopify, Alibaba that have multiple merchants under the same domains. Nothing to do with entitlement.
- kelnos 6y agoFB seems to believe they are entitled to the ability to track people on iOS. Apple is under no obligation to allow that.
- dialtone 6y agoApple literally built a feature that requires addition to PSL to support a usecase that was addressed multiple times in the PrivacyCG meetings. How is this entitlement, they are following the Apple requirements.

- ankmathur96 6y agoThe entire point of these generated subdomains is that you do not have to buy a domain name...
- kalleboo 6y agoIf you're at the point you're spending money on ads and need to track them, you can spend $10 on a domain name? Lots of these platforms also give away free domain names.
- ankmathur96 6y agoIt's not about whether or not it's foolish - the point is buying and setting up a subdomain, handing SEO, etc. is often more complex than some small business owners want to deal with.
- slenk 6y agoWhich seems foolish if a company is serious about tracking revenue...
