  1. Always "fun" to read this in a #privacy policy: "Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser."

    Well you could at least try to minimise your tracking. Doing nothing is just laziness.

  5. @bfdi Hm, eine einfache Lösung wäre ja der #DoNotTrack-Schalter im Browser. Wieso das nicht verpflichtend gemacht wurde/wird, verstehe ich nicht.

  6. was just annoyed by another website's #cookieBanner and wrote thier support, that I'd appreciate if they regard #donottrack

    sometimes I just want to annoy back

  7. Wow! Die Hölle friert zu!

  8. Meine letzten eMails
    (wenn mich cookiebanner nerven, kann ich ja das auch mal $Firma mitteilen und Supportkosten verursachen),

    "Hallo liebe $Firma,
    ich nutze euren Service echt gerne, aber der Cookiebanner ist schon nervig. Ich lösche halt regelmäßig die Cookies --wegen der 1000 Werbepartner. Wollt ihr den Banner nicht ausblenden wenn ich das Do-Not-Track entsprechend gesetzt habe? Wär ne mega Usability.

    Grüßle

    "wir können nicht jedes Plugin berücksichtigen und außerdem müßen wir das per gesetz, sorry"

    "Hi, das ist eine Standardfunktion der gängigen Browser und Art 21, Abs 5 DSGVO und die Aufsichtsbehörden meinen, dass ihr das nicht müsst -> de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_T

    Schönes WE

  9. Habe mal eine Website angeschrieben, ob sie nicht Do-Not-Track respektieren wollen:

    "Wir können die Website nicht auf alle Anti-Tracking-Tools einstellen."

    ... ja ...

  10. 🚌 Der Vorschlag, Cookie-Banner über den #DigitalOmnibus abzuschaffen, soll gestrichen werden.

    Reminder: Die Cookie-Banner sind keine Erfindung des Datenschutzes, sondern der Tracking-Industrie.

    #Datenschutz bietet längst bessere Lösungen: #DoNotTrack, #PrivacyByDefault und #PrivacyByDesign.

  11. Ah, the digital age’s version of a secret handshake 🤝: the mystical and ever-elusive "Do Not Track" standard. Instead of actually respecting privacy by default, let's have users memorize an arcane spell-book 📚 of opt-out incantations for every single tool. Because who doesn't love a good scavenger hunt for privacy? 🙄🔍

  12. KQED: What Is the Point of California’s Privacy Laws if Big Tech Ignores Them?. “An independent review of Microsoft, Meta and Google web traffic in California in March found the tech companies may have violated state regulations around internet privacy. The audit, by webXray, also said that nearly 200 online advertising services ignored ‘legally defined, globally standard, opt-out signals’ […]

  13. If you “honour” my #DoNotTrack* signal, why don't you just shut the fuck up, dear docs.spring.io? 🙄

    * More accurately: #GlobalPrivacyControl header or #GPC

  14. 🇪🇺Your browser's #DoNotTrack signal is now legally binding: As of today, enabling DNT means no more personalized political ads (and no nagging consent banners about it). Keep an eye on Meta & Co. Are they complying? Report any violations! patrick-breyer.de/en/political #PoliticalAds

  15. 🇩🇪Ab heute MÜSSEN Plattformen dein Browser-Signal #DoNotTrack respektieren: Wer es setzt, darf keine personalisierte politische Werbung mehr sehen – ohne lästige Banner-Rückfragen! Prüft kritisch, ob Meta & Co sich daran halten und meldet Verstöße. patrick-breyer.de/politische-w

  16. @choam if privacy is your concern then you should use @brave. It still supports #ManifestV2, but also comes with a built-in #AdBlocker, and third party cookie blocking. Furthermore it still supports #DoNotTrack which Firefox is phasing out, so technically it's *more* private, and also MUCH faster!

  17. Now we know why Mozilla removed the #DoNotTrack feature from #Firefox. They didn't want us to opt out! (irony)

    "Do Not Track: Mozilla does not track users across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising. In addition, if you have configured your browser to send a “Do Not Track” signal when accessing our websites, Mozilla will not utilize any of the tools described in the Metrics section."

  18. Glad to see #Rob from #FPF brings up #Kobler's #contextualads solution as a viable alternative to #RTB and #SurveillanceAdvertising.

    Also makes a super important point about mandatory #DoNotTrack signals in browsers.

    IMO this is what #Mozilla should be working towards, not making #Firefox as a data collection platform.
