It's almost certain that you've agreed to privacy terms somewhere (even if just a misclicked cookie box) that has the lines:
"You consent to processing... by us and our partners..."
Where the partners list includes 400 or so companies, one of which is for sure Meta.
Would this hold up on court? No idea. But I'm sure Meta will happily take you consent and run with it, as will all the other companies.
- seabass-labrax 2y agoThe option to accept or decline cookies is, unfortunately for parent, not necessarily legally enforceable outside the European Union and the United Kingdom. There might be an argument that Meta cannot track a user after explicitly offering the ability to opt-out (promissory estoppel?), but I rather doubt it. In the EU/UK, the argument is academic, as the GDPR requires ongoing consent to track a user: you can't sign away your privacy in perpetuity.
