Keep in mind the cookie law doesn't just apply to browser cookies, but to other kinds of fingerprinting too. Your proposal would let you be tracked in a persistent way through canvas, localstorage and other forms of entropy easily retrieved from your browser that deleting cookies will not help against.
- stickfigure 4y ago"Clear cookies" clears local storage, indexeddb, and the other obvious places. Of course that leaves evercookie-type tracking, but the folks using those techniques are not likely to care about about consent. And frankly you'd be better off just simply banning those techniques outright. Or better yet, make them impossible in the browser in the first place. The "can I track you?" question does not add value.
- mike_hock 4y agocanvas: Useless feature. Disable. localstorage: Clear along with cookies. entropy: Reduce observable information. Fuck the law. Defend yourself with technical measures that actually work. You wanna make a law that helps? Give safe-haven protections to Tor exit nodes.
