Holy shit, I thought I knew how evil the #SurveillanceAds industry was but here we are:

Two-thirds of European websites just ignore your #cookie choice and track you anyways, researchers from #ETHzurich found. 🤯

I've already reposted this but it's worth repeating the key points of this excellent article:

• EU doesn't require #cookie #banners
• EU doesn't regulate cookies
• EU regulates unsolicited data collection at odds with the service requested by users
• If you see a cookie banner, you can suspect that the purpose of the service is dodgy or the operator incompetent
• There're easier ways to collect consent: Do-Not-Track setting in the browser
• Use #firefox

Yesterday I we talked about #advertisement and #GDPR compliance and it's just worth a shoutout to @gamingonlinux for their stellar approach:

• Pictures are embedded as-is
• YouTube is embedded but with behind a button to activate that feature - Thunderbird is a sponsor which is just a static image with a link that's not distracting at all

And there's no #cookie banner. Because there's no need.

Liam, you rock! <3

My dog Cookie at a dog groomer (that sadly gets tagged all the time)

(There's a young pair of Cavs that also go there!)
