This. It boggles the mind that browser vendors (and standards committee) haven‘t come up with a preferences page for cookie consent. Expose that through JS and/or send it to the server via a HTTP header.
- jonas-w 3y agoI don't know if you are being sarcastic, but the DNT header exists, just no one respects it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/DNT https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/DN...
- ilyt 3y agoNothing to boggle. Google is ad company. They will do everything in their power to not give users easy option to opt out of tracking.
- danudey 3y agoThe companies who actually use these cookies don't want that, because everyone would just turn everything off forever. It would probably just kill off tons of analytics companies overnight. (I wouldn't lament the loss of invasive analytics, but the job losses would be saddening)
- ktosobcy 3y agoIt's not the browser vendors (well, save for morons from google) because there is DoNotTrack header but it's not used/enforced. EU could amend the law to include that and it would be AWESOME.
