That's something which should be adequately disclosed by the websites you're visiting, which the problem that GDPR tries to solve (and currently fails to solve due to poor guidance and enforcement). Ideally a GDPR "cookie banner" should simply say "This site uses Google Analytics, <other services> to track you across the web. [Allow] [Deny]" instead of the current dark patterns.
- rkagerer 4y agoWho ever would hit Allow? There is ONE simple answer here that is in the best interest of your user, and that's rip the invasive 3rd party analytics out of your website. Anything else is failing to put your users first, and eventually those users will go to a competitor who does. There's so much opportunity out there right now for startups that prioritize decency.
- kalleboo 4y ago> Who ever would hit Allow? That's kind of the point of GDPR. But they're not enforcing the main requirements under the law - that the consequences are clear and that choosing to allow or disallow are equally as simple.
