Principle 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.
