> explicit direct customer relationship
Be careful what you wish for.
Which is better?
Cookies "without consent" (which you can trivially clear with the click of a button, or have the browser clear automatically) every time you visit YouTube or Google search.
Or no YT or Search for you unless you make a Google account tied to your real email (no 10minutemail) and real phone number.
GDPR is privacy snakeoil.
- croes 5y agoThey are way beyond tracking by cookies or account, they just fingerprint your device. And cookie consent questions are better because you can sue them if they still track you with them. It is not only about technology and possibilities but also about laws and rights. GDPR is leverage.
- mike_hock 5y agoSo then they'll just make signup mandatory and circumvent the legislation that way. Device fingerprinting is still something you (or the browser vendor) can mitigate.
- croes 5y agoMandatory signup doesn't get them rid of the GDPR. You still aren't simply allowed to store data that isn't necessary to deal with your customer or user or the service you are providing.
