That's not enough. If anything, it can make tracking more pervasive and harder to control.
The server fingerprints the user and shares this info with an ad network, fetches and injects a personalized ad. Same result, zero accountability: no way to delete server side PII, no way to know what information was collected, no way to know how it was actually used. Even worse, the server gets to read the ad delivered to you, which may leak even more information.
There is no purely technical solution which can replace regulation.
- asxd 6y agoI think "server side" distracted from my point. I'm not offering a technical solution, only that I really wish ads would be targeted solely on what you're looking at. Similar to how magazine and newspaper ads are targeted.
