Tired of misleading cookie banners? The EU Commission has finally proposed a solution: set your privacy preferences in the browser once, and never see another banner. Unfortunately, the tracking industry is pushing back – and so far, they’ve been successful. We need YOUR help to #KillTheCookieBanner!
I am in favour. Until then you can use consent-o-mattic to actively deny cookies instead of just hiding the element.
I was about to recommend Consent-O-Matic! Digi-gods bless Aarhus University and their compsci students for building something so wonderfully useful.
A link that @syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de commented on a crosspost of this post:
it’s all done with fingerprinting now anyway
Time to find the most restrictive browser in terms of shared info
tor.
Isnt that like a whole other network though. Its own domains and browsers unreachable by traditional browsers
you can access the regular clearnet through tor.
every tor browser is standardized therefore resistant to fingerprinting, plus you get a different IP every time.
Do you expose yourself by joining the network, is there precautions to take? Is it the onion browser?
yes, the tor browser is the easiest way to use tor. you expose to your ISP that you are using tor, but what you do in there is encrypted.
if you live in a place that frowns upon merely using tor, the standard precaution is using the available tor bridges. it’s good practice to keep the tor browser stock.
Share nonsense and periodically change it. Restrictions are a fingerprint itself.
I would wish the EU would be more strict in its laws. Cookiebanners are NOT required when you only use functional cookies that the website technically needs to work. I never had to show the banner for my websites, because I simply don’t include 3rd party bullshit, no ads, no tracking.
Same with the new age rating rules, websites and communities that aim at CHILDREN are required to not be invasive when checking for age (ID checks are last fucking resorts!). If your website or community is obviously 18+, like porn, gore and such websites. There is no requirement for an age check!
Fuck the companies abusing our EU systems and that put the EU in a bad spotlight because of RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE social media ragebait.
Why the fuck is it socially acceptable for billion dollar (foreign!) tech companies to manipulate our children?
Why did we normalize getting our asses spied on? And why are we accepting the excuse of these tech companies to scan our ID’s and passports?
The GDPR does not allow scanning of identity cards/passports except for a very limited section. Like: banks, your employer, your health insurance and your government. These tech companies are not on the GDPR VIP list.
Woa, fun to see this on Lemmy. I’ve got an IETF draft out and am working with some people on an option to solve this (including a major cookie banner provider).
Well I mean I support the message, but please pay an artist instead of using these ugly AI generated images.
What AI generated images are you talking about?
First image: why is she typing on the edges of the keyboard, why is the keyboard just one rectangle, why is the trackpad split in two
Second image: the server is the most unsymmetrical thing I have ever seen and her hands don’t make sense
Third image: the guy is just holding the sign with his wrist, not with his hand and the sign itself is so straight it looks photoshopped in. Well or just placed in by an AI. Also, the backglow of the sign appears behind the people, not behind the sign
Fourth image: the guy had five fingers on the megaphone, the woman only has four. The woman has five fingers on the paper, the guy has a crab hand
This is some mayor fucking AI slop.
I could be wrong but I don’t believe the art is generated and I’d say I’m pretty good at spotting that type of content.
