Does this mean that if I set GPC, companies are not allowed to show me cookie banners under GDPR but just assume I hit whatever their "decline all tracking" button says?
- dmattia 2y agoIn California under CCPA, it actually goes beyond just frontend regulation and cookie banners, and into the realm of backend tracking management: https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-announces-settlement-sephora-part-ongoing-enforcement https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bont... The California Attorney General ruled that if a user presents a GPC signal, the company should update all of their backend systems to opt out of tracking in the same way as if the user clicked a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" button.
- kuschku 2y agoAnd similarly, German courts recently ruled the DNT header to be legally considered rejection of tracking (Az.: 16 O 420/19) Legal backing obviously isn't reason enough for Mozilla to support a feature. And GPC isn't even compatible with GDPR.
