That seems very different, as those cohorts are based on actual personal data (correct me if I’ve misunderstood this about FLoC). That’s fundamentally different from a counter I think.
- jahewson 4y agoYes that’s right, FLoC is explicitly using personal data. But now consider that that data is “you visited a gardening website in the past month” and compare it with “you visited this website 3 times yesterday” and the two methods don’t look so different.
- tobr 4y agoI guess we all have different instincts when it comes to this, but I find it much more expected and acceptable that a website can see that I’m returning, than that they get to know about random other interests I have based on my general browsing history.
