GDPR doesn't disallow cookies, it disallows tracking cookies, afaik. Tracking data is not yours too see, so how could you use them? Do you mean that you want personalized ads?
- hot_gril 4y agoI want to use the site without getting a banner. Some require me to agree to cookies. I don't care what they do with the cookies. Almost nobody does.
- magic_hamster 4y agoI sure care. I never agree to any cookies, and instead, I use an ad blocker to hide the banner. I can't speak for most people but of you care about your privacy, tracking cookies should become an opt-in mechanism.
- hot_gril 4y agoYeah, you care, but most people probably just click accept. I want an "I don't care" option. Ad-blocking the banner only goes so far and is harder on mobile.
- klabb3 4y agoPrinciple of least privilege. If websites ask for camera permission they should have a good reason, and you should be able to disable it in the browser. Unfortunately, you can't enforce what cookies will be used for technically, so it's done legally instead. But the preference could still be in the browser, where it belongs. I'd be fine being denied service if I don't allow tracking cookies. Another option would be to spoof/containerize/pollute/sabotage the cookies through the browser or an extension, and opt back in for sites that you need persistence with.
- hot_gril 4y agoPrinciple of least privilege is for things the client can control, like sending the cookies in the first place. There has already been a "do not track" option since 2010. It got basically deprecated because nobody respected it. And even if they tried to enforce it, and I actually cared about being tracked, I wouldn't trust it.
