The one wierd trick to not having a cookie banner is… wait for it… Do not sell out your users!
Who knew!?
@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

@ruari
"These are my partners, and if you trust me, you can trust them"."Either way, you fucked up by trusting any of us".
-
@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")
@bhtooefr That is some fucked up logic but ok. 🤣

@HodgesC Exactly this!

Us and our ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR "partners". Hah ha!
Also fuck off!
@ruari Wow... I've seen a lot on these things, but... Wow...

Here is a fun thing. I work for Vivaldi Browser. Load any of our websites and you see no cookie banner and no mention of partners.
"But wait" you say, "didn't those terrible Europeans mandate the cookie banner!?"
No, no they did not. We do not need a cookie banner because we are not selling all your shit to every company under the sun.
Also those sites with cookie banners are just doing malicious compliance. This was never about the EU requiring cookie banners!
@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?

@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.

@ruari welcome to Christofascist America's idea of how to scare kids 🙃 -
@ruari the bit the companies don't say is that EU requires informed consent to share your data.
Cookie banners are a deliberately poor implementation for collecting consent. And many of them are not compliant because they don't inform.
@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.

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.

@craignicol Yep, from the same site @Binder

@sturmsucht @alex exactly this, Alex!
They had no other choice... I announced to them that I was going to delete my Whatsapp account and if they wanted to keep messaging with me, Signal was the only option. And they did!
I wrote about this 6 years ago on my blog: https://therealists.org/2020/01/quitting-whatsapp-facebook-s-grand-illusion/

@stefano I'm sorry to hear this, Stefano. I'm sure you were looking forward to it, but health and family come first and you're definitely setting the right priorities here.
It's good to hear that things are improving, albeit slowly. So fingers crossed they will continue to improve and you'll be able to attend the next conference.

L’altra sera, a guardare The Cost of Growth, eravamo in 4, compresa me.
Quando inizio qualcosa da zero - cosa che per mia natura accade spesso - succede sempre così. E la sensazione di essere soli, che nessuno ti calcola, all’inizio è quella che brucia, ma non mi scotta.
Lo so, al cervello non piace cambiare, e gli argomenti che porto sono sempre di cambiamento.
Ma noi non siamo il nostro cervello, siamo qualcosa di più. Appena lo scopri, entri in un mondo più vasto.
