It's a valid critique, so here goes: how would you implement it to avoid those?

- Nextgrid 5y agoThe "make it part of the browser" argument doesn't work in practice because the GDPR covers the intent and purpose of data collection/processing rather than any specific technical way of collecting or processing said data. Blocking cookies at the browser level doesn't prevent the website from using browser fingerprinting or the information you manually provided (your delivery address to make a purchase for example) in a way you didn't agree with.
