You now have a much fuller understanding of how disruptive the tracking industry is





To clarify for those who don't know: If your website uses cookies for storing the products a customer added to their shopping cart or similar "legitimate interest" purposes, they don't need to display a cookie banner.

The law demands them to ask for informed consent only if they want to collect more than that technically necessary data. If that consent isn't given voluntarily it isn't consent. If the choise is "Yes" and a puzzle-maze of a thousand flavors of "No" it isn't informed consent. If the cookies exist before asking they haven't been consentual, etc.

If websites cared about users they just honored the Do Not Track setting
