Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to discover there's overlap, even if small, with your thinking. I was not aware of the Memex, and I will definitely dive into it right away. Regarding the concept of "document" I should maybe

The one in GDPR trouble wouldn't be your company anyway, since you're a data processor. The data controller is the one who needs to make good on the data requests.

I'm unsure of how the burden of proof would work if the developer is not involved. The end user may have a hard time even guessing whether a piece of GPL software is embedded in the defendant's software.

If you remove the loitering '$' at line ends, and replace ';' for comments with '#,' this would pass as valid Python.

Of course I will tell them how to run their business, as long as it involves exploiting my privacy. No one should get to erode my privacy and have me shut up about it.

To clarify, I'm using the word "user" in a large sense. It includes family members around me, for whom the mere notion of "cookie" is already a mystery, and who use routinely websites with technically essential cook

Considering that: - some cookies are essential for the website to work, - some others are not, and - the browser can't ever tell the difference, then it doesn't really matter what config is set in the browser.

That's very presumptuous. As a user, i honestly don't care how the site funds their internal expenses, as long as it's lawful. If they want to charge me money for it, the just have to ask.

The opposite is true. A browser never creates a cookie or of thin air. A browser stores a cookie only when it's sent by the server, or set by JavaScript code sent by the server.

I thought the color in Mirasol displays was achieved by electrically adjusting the distance between a transparent and a reflective plate, creating a controlled iridescence. Were there shutters on top?

Marketing cookies can be same-site or third-party. The only entity that can specify whether a cookie is marketing-related or not is the website. No one else can.

Définition of cookies I don't consent to: any cookie that is not mandatory for the site to technically work.

No, it's not under "Tools|Preferences." There is no setting anywhere, in any web browser, to "retain cookies that are technically necessary and reject marketing cookies" which is the desirable behaviour.

Blaming the user-agent for accepting an abusive amount of cookies set by the website is outright bad faith. The only entity with any real power to decide which cookies the website uses is the website itself. Asking the user or the user agen
