Which ones? All the non-tracking, supposedly-GDPR-compliant ads/analytics out there just use a convoluted and overcomplicated interpretation of the GDPR to claim their solution complies while it ultimately doesn't, or stretch the "legitimate interest" definition quite a bit.
For example, if it's able to reidentify a user coming back to a website, then it doesn't matter if they hash the IP address 20 times which is salted with the outcome of a crystal ball and all under the supervision of a magic unicorn, it's still processing personal data for non-essential purposes and should require explicit consent.

- Nextgrid 3y agoI'm just sharing the experience that most of these "privacy" products (whether ads or analytics - the latter seem very popular on HN) only make that claim because of an outlandish interpretation of the GDPR or whatever privacy law they're trying to work around.
