- gcarswell 15y agoKISS is still independent and unlikely to be able to afford the legal fees to fight it to the bitter end, increasing the trolls chances of getting quick settlement dollars. I hope KISS pays them in pennies.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoWhat about individual sites that use evercookie for their own purposes, even if it's not for tracking? There's still the lack of respect for browser settings and "wasted bandwidth" as they claim... but it's not necessarily (perceived) as "malicious".
- earl 15y agoActually, probably not. Some companies have already been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, sued, and settled. See eg [1]. I'd bet most companies have looked at that and decided not to do anything similar. Note: I'm an actual quantcast employee, though I started after the aforementioned behavior. I'm not speaking for quantcast. (Seriously -- don't be a dbag and quote this as qc's position or anything. Because if you want qc's position ask our spokesperson.)
