That would be a good option for Cloudflare to give site operators. [ ] Add `Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()` header.

- ghughes 6y agoThey should look at the way the wind is blowing and enable this by default for all domains. edit: in a previous version of this comment I said that Cloudflare should use this mechanism to "kill FLoC in the crib", which is quoted in southerntofu's reply.
- southerntofu 6y agoI find it worrying that a huge company is pushing an opt-out privacy-hostile feature (you have to send a header so that hopefully they will disable it, if they are in good faith) and the best we can do to fight it is to ask another huge corporation to "kill it in the crib". Maybe its finally time we stopped using these corporations and their products once and for all and started empowering our own communities instead?
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoRespectfully, I don’t think your category of “we” is as universal as you think. Privacy-focused people can and largely do use browsers which simply refuse to send this kind of potentially sensitive information; for the rest of us, this new feature is substantially less privacy-hostile than what it’s replacing.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoThis is definitely worse than the fingerprinting being replaced, because whereas the old methods were inadvertently using browser traits unrelated to user behavior for tracking, this is an intentional feature for user tracking related intentionally to user interests.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoIt's a replacement for third-party cookies, not fingerprinting.
- foxhop 6y agoI agree, here is my public statement on the matter. https://www.remarkbox.com/remarkbox-is-now-pay-what-you-can.html https://www.remarkbox.com/remarkbox-is-now-pay-what-you-can....
