"Yes, the lack of tracking cookies is doom and gloom for those who want to track people."
I believe that some level of tracking should be allowed by default, unless a user goes out of their way to avoid it.
Much the same as walking into a supermarket, I don't want them knowing what shop I just came from, and what I usually buy (unless I sign up for that stuff), but if they want to count how many times I visit in a week, or what sex I am, anonymously, why should I get a say in stopping that?
Possibly biased given I work in digital marketing, but I don't think so.
