They no longer track you by (only) cookies- the GPDR made sure of that. Fingerprinting is the current standard and there’s no easy way to block that.

Without consent, this is illegal, so if this is happening someone's gonna get sued and fined.

Don't hold your breath for that to happen though. Maybe in your grandkid's lifetime, but doubtful in yours.

This is already happening. Now, could enforcement be better? Of course, but it's trending in the right direction.

The GDPR surely didn't have an influence on that.

The GDPR is technologically agnostic about tracking. You don't accept, then no tracking either way.

wat.

fingerprinting and cookiless tracking was a thing before GDPR. And GDPR literally talks about all forms of tracking, not just cookies. One would think you'd read at least something before having an opinion.

An outcome I'm entirely fine with. Those industries are _not_ divinely entitled to fabulous wealth by violating one's privacy. I won't shed a tear if they don't survive once they are blocked from spying.
