The reality is the data that is gathered is so much more valuable and accurate if you gather consent when you are running a business. Defaulting to a minimal config is just not practical for most businesses either. The decisions that are made with proper tracking data have a real business impact (I can see it myself - working at a client with 7 figure monthly revenue).
Im fully supportive of consent, but the way it is implemented is impractical from everyone’s POV and I stand by that.
- ta1243 1y agoWhy would I ever want to consent to you abusing my data?
- user5534762135 1y agoThat is only true if you agree with ad platforms that tracking ads are fundamentally required for businesses, which is trivially untrue for most enterprises. Forcing businesses to get off privacy violating tracking practices is good, and it's not the EU that's at fault for forcing companies to be open about ad networks' intransigence on that part.
- bfg_9k 1y agoAre you genuinely trying to defend businesses unnecessarily tracking users online? Why can't businesses sell their core product(s) and you know... not track users? If they did that, then they wouldn't need to implement a cookie banner.
- deanc 1y agoRetargetting etc is massive revenue for online retailers. I support their right to do it if users consent to it. I don’t support their right to do it if users have not consented. The conversation is not about my opinion on tracking, anyway. It’s about the impracticality of implementing the legislation that is hostile and time consuming for both website owners and users alike

- lcnielsen 1y agoPlus with any kind of effort put into a standard browser setting you could easily have some granularity, like: accept anonymous ephemeral data collected to improve website, but not stuff shared with third parties, or anything collected for the purpose of tailoring content or recommendations for you.
- artathred 1y agoAre you genuinely acting this obtuse? what do you think walmart and every single retailer does when you walk into a physical store? it’s always constant monitoring to be able to provide a better customer experience. This doesn’t change with online, businesses want to improve their service and they need the data to do so.
- owebmaster 1y ago> it’s always constant monitoring to be able to provide a better customer experience This part gave me a genuine laugh. Good joke.
- artathred 1y agoah yes because walmart wants to harvest your in-store video data so they can eventually clone you right? adjusts tinfoil hat
- owebmaster 1y agoyeah this one wasn't as funny.
- artathred 1y agoI can see how it hits too close to home for you
- 1718627440 1y agoIf you're talking about the same jurisdiction of this privacy laws, then this is illegal. Your are only allowed to retain videos for 24h and only use it for basically calling the police.
- artathred 1y agowalmart has sales associates running around gathering all those data points, as well as people standing around monitoring. Their “eyes” aren’t regulated.
- discreteevent 1y ago> just not practical for most businesses I don't think practical is the right word here. All the businesses in the world operated without tracking until the mid 90s.
