CloudFlare has been using fingerprinting for a long time in their "anti-bot" protection. I wonder if they'll go after them too.

- Xelbair 2y agoi wish. i can't access any sites on my firefox that use cloudflare captcha.
- usr1106 2y agoCloudflare captcha? Does such thing exist? They have Turnstyle which I never had problems on my computers (only Firefox installed). I did have problems on a niche phone running an outdated mobile Firefox, but I believe they might have been solved. Edit: Yes, seems to work now. After I complained on HN earlier their CTO asked me to send a trace. I did so and a couple of months later the problem was gone. Whether that was causal or incidental I have no idea.
- SpaceManNabs 2y agoI have never encountered this and i have been using firefox daily since 2008. So confused lol
- beejiu 2y agoAnything to do with bots, fraud, etc can generally be processed under the "legitimate interest" legal basis. You don't need consent.
- SpaceManNabs 2y agoThis came up on reddit a few years ago and maybe here. There was a case that effectively determined that cdns were not gdpr compliant. And then everyone ignored this outcome because of the implications. Ofc there is the "legitimate interests" line. Vague enough for a judge to apply as they see fit, but one judge messed up at least one time.
