    one must appreciate the vision and legislation that’s enforced that particular phrasing. it becomes so much more starker – how cavalierly your data is treated.

      Is it okay for a salesman to jump into your bed along with their 874 partners in exchange for selling you a newspaper?
      (NOTE: Ads DON’T HAVE TO be targeted. You can show ads and not track the user.)

        Or (being devil’s advocate here): just don’t be a fucking slut. Have like 3 partners and have ypur website pick the best offer dynamically, it’s not that hard. In the end they all use AdSense, so they don’t even need to give data to the other 873 or even Google itself - as you said ads don’t have to be targeted. Although it’s not as if it won’t get there anyway.

    That many partners is guaranteed to produce some sort of infection.

    One time a game asked me to allow cookies, instead of a “deny all” button I had to deny each partner individually. I was standing there disabling every toggle for about 15 minutes because there were 500+ of them.

      I would have written a user-script to find all check boxes and check them automatically.

      Oh, wait, a game? So not a web browser?

        And after I made an AHK script to check all those boxes, I’d make another AHK script to beat the shit out of that game in 10 minutes. If it’s multi-player I’m specifically ruining the fun for others with my cheating. Fuck games like that, fuck companies like that.

        They unknowingly provided me with a completely different game to play.

      Hill Climb Racing did that for me. I tried doing what you did the first time, then it kept sending me that every two days, so I just used Rethink DNS with the block trackers and ads blocklist.

    Some partners do not ask for your consent to process your data and rely on their legitimate business interest.

    Sounds a whole hell of a lot like rape language to me

    We need to stop calling these sites and services “free”. Anything that’s financed by ads, spying and profiling is not free, the user is paying with their attention, integrity and right to privacy. This is not nothing.

    Presently, it’s a shady and dishonest practice since the terms of the transaction are rarely transparent to the consumer; in other words, it’s a scam.

    Is there a way to spoof this personal information randomly?

    I mean, denying them my cookies and browsing history and shit defends me from that one site, but salting the earth and poisoning the well with weaponized false data must surely weaken the data miners, and help protect others if done on a broad scale.

    I’m no longer content with defending fortress Firefox, I want to go on the offensive, get my boots muddy, and put some safety pins up under some fingernails
