Fuck ads, obviously, but I can understand there’s confusion here.

If GPC says “do not sell my data”, but the user subsequently opts in via the cookie banner (or vice-versa), you have two conflicting signals. There’s no clear case law or anything that says what to do. Or what should happen if the same user sends different GPC signals depending on their device or browser.

Although I guess the easiest solution is just “do not sell data if any signal suggests it’s not allowed”, but that doesn’t line advertisers’ pockets I guess.

Little reminder: the GDPR has been in effect since May 25, 2018.

Under Art. 21(5) GDPR, automated opt-out signals like DNT and GPC have to be respected. That applies to everyone providing services in the EEA.

So most of to who it applies to should already have done it since 2018.

wait is that why DNT was removed from browsers??? I always thought the “nobody respected it anyway” reason was stupid.

I live dreaming of Ladybird, an independent FOSS browser which will solve all problems

Maybe in two years you can enjoy an stable release, stay dreaming.

Use EU soft and services, there you have controllable privacy and user rights by law.
