"We care about your privacy!"

@ruari
"These are my partners, and if you trust me, you can trust them".

"Either way, you fucked up by trusting any of us".

[bhtooefr@snack.social]

@ruari@velocipederider.com you just have to use abstinence-based sex education's definition of "partner"

(for those unaware: "when you have sex with someone, you've had sex with everyone they've ever had sex with, and everyone that those people have ever had sex with, so on, and so on")

@ruari My sole public-facing website is a GPX file visualiser. When I made it public I added a privacy statement:

"Privacy: I don't set any cookies, or store any data. All processing is done in your browser so I have no access to your routes "

It's easy, unless you come from the position that screwing fractional cents out of every page load is a business model

@leeloo THIS

[ruari@velocipederider.com]

@bhtooefr That is some fucked up logic but ok. 🤣

[ruari@velocipederider.com]

@HodgesC Exactly this!

@ruari Wow... I've seen a lot on these things, but... Wow...

[shadowfals@toot.cat]

@ruari that's nice, sincerely.

Related question: in Firefox and derivatives, I can look at the Ublock filter on each page to choose between links. If one webpage has 85 elements blocked, a second with similar info or capability has 12, and a third has zero, then I'd recommend the third in conversations. Because not everyone's using Vivaldi, is there a way to see what on a page was blocked by it?

@bhtooefr
I feel like that's basically how it works when it comes to data privacy. Maybe those abstinence folks would do better with a career change as privacy advocates!

@ruari @Binder see also the nonsense that is "legitimate interest"

@ruari If you don't surveil and sell your visitors, then you don't need cookie banners. It's very simple.

The only ones who don't seem to get this very simple fact are the tech bros trained by laissez-faire capitalists to hate the EU for daring to regulate their privacy invasions.

[bhtooefr@snack.social]

@ruari welcome to Christofascist America's idea of how to scare kids 🙃

[elvith@nerdculture.de]

@craignicol @ruari also I dislike the term cookie banners. What's stopping me from using some different mechanism (e.g. passing a unique ID for every logged in user to 3rd party scripts)? That still needs consent.

@shadowfals Do you mean like this?

[kerplunk@mastodon.scot]

@ruari

"We care about your privacy!"

Us and our ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR "partners". Hah ha!

German Kleinanzeigen beats that with over 1800.

You can, if you scroll to the switch which is hidden on most screens turn those off
though.

But in most cases I fully agree with F OFF to cookie factory sites.
