Why do they still think we want tracking cookies ? The ad industry should prepare for a future with no tracking instead of trying to survive with ever shadier tricks, IMO.
This won't work:
- browsers other than Chrome will say "no tracking" by default, tracking companies won't like that
- websites will ignore this, this will be known and people will be upset even more
- more javascript when we want less
> more javascript when we want less
notice that if you disable javascript by default most cookie banners disappear and everything becomes better. Then you can enable it per-site if you need something in particular.
You should check out uMatrix to get even more fine grained control over sites.
I usually allow images on every page, that's it. Some need CSS, some need iframes, and a small subset of websites I visit are actual webapps that need javascript.
