When I am king of the world all cookie banners will have standardized language:
"This site uses cookies if you are logged on. But even if you aren't logged on, we share your browsing details with 6 other companies from around the world. And they sell your details onto other companies and possibly governments. We don't know. But we get $0.0003 for it, so we really want you to say yes to the following question.
Do you consent?"
- dale_glass 3y agoJust 6? Before this got reigned in a bit, I've once encountered a pop-up that required me to manually opt-out out of more than a hundred trackers, one by one.
- ckastner 3y ago> This site uses cookies if you are logged on. But even if you aren't logged on, we share your browsing details with 6 other companies from around the world. That's one of the things the GDPR was created for. If your data is being shared, you must be informed of with whom it is being shared, and for what purpose. And if the only reason the data is being shared is so that you can earn $0.00003 for it, rather than being necessary in order for you to provide the service, than you probably need consent anyway. And at the minimum, you must offers users the option to object to that processing.
- karaterobot 3y agoWhen I'm king (that's right, I'm planning a coup!) I will make the browser manufacturers handle this with a standard dialog the site owners can only customize in limited ways. Users will be able to express general preferences and they will be respected (i.e. I can choose to opt in or out of marketing-related cookies in my browser settings, rather than on a per-site basis).
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoWhy so unambitious? When I'm king, you will have to assume lack of consent without asking. If users want to be tracked they can opt-in by emailing trackme@<your domain>.
