@ridge they could. They choose not to. Remember that. Invasion of your privacy is a choice someone made.

@ridge meh not even show that, or better just don’t do cookies other than login (which TTBOMK needs no separate consent)

@ridge why can't all websites only use necessary cookies (in which case they wouldn't need any tracking or consent settings or banners or popups in the first place)
Show threadsofia ☮️🏴Apr 24, 2023

@freja @ridge okay. but then, if you want to be tracked, you'll have to send them all your web traffic manually! how inconvenient 😩!

(ps: most of that shit would be solved with browsers just started blocking cookies and got serious about de-fingerprinting, but oh well…)

@sofia @freja @ridge Firefox does have this, unfortunately it's not enabled by default because it do be breaking websites a whole lot. I regularly have to turn it off because it breaks sites in some subtle way that makes them unusable

@ridge watch "necessary cookies" is just code word for "all cookies" because the argument can be made that advertizing cookies are "necessary" to their profits

@ridge "Do Not Track"-mode detected. You have been assigned to the privacy-aware technical user cohort. See FLoC in our Privacy Policy for more details.
Show threadDaveApr 24, 2023

@ridge

If they detect do-not-track mode then they shall not store any cookies at all
(unless I choose to log in to the site, which may require a session cookie) And no "local storage" either (that's just cookies by another name)

@ridge because DNT sadly is in shambles and apparently no longer a part of the HTTP standard :/

But! Reading the Wikipedia article on DNT, I learned about https://globalprivacycontrol.org

Global Privacy Control — Take Control Of Your Privacy

Exercise your privacy rights in one step via the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) signal, a proposed specification backed by over a dozen organizations.

@T045T @ridge I've read that Safari dropped support because more sites abuse this HTTP header to help track us than there are sites which actually follows the request.

@ridge Wondering what their definition of "necessary cookies" is though.

@ridge or rather have all websites default to "no cookies except logins"
