This will be great! ...for California!
Anyone who thought that California's "Do Not Sell My Data" requirements would cause websites to tamp down on the data collection nationwide were sorely disappointed when sites simply implemented an IP Address check to only display the option if they were in California. Other states followed suit, and sites amended their logic to show the banner in California, Virginia, etc.
They are going to cling to data vacuuming for as wide and as long as they can.
- LeifCarrotson 3y agoIt's interesting how so many sites deployed cookie banners even if you weren't in the EU, but decided to only display this option if your IP address is located in California. Yet another use case for VPNs...

- jslpc 3y agoHonestly, I live in Los Angeles and feel like I never even see these California-specific opt-out banners. I typically reject all but essential cookies on every website that prompts me, but never see anything related to the CCPA, which is a shame because I really do want to utilize it.
