Reminds me of those privacy policies. “We don’t sell your data!” in the big type. When you dig more into the fine print… they don’t! But they do “share it within their partner family of companies”. And then THOSE companies sell it. Or sometimes, sell inferences made from it, even if not sell the data.
Sorry, I was like half asleep. I can’t find it, there was a website I saw shared somewhere on Lemmy that showed you all the info you automatically shared when visiting a website and it pointed out stuff that they collected without even asking for it. The implication is that your device gives websites data involuntarily; the website wasn’t asking for it.
We foxes promise not to let any predators into the henhouse.
They said it wasn’t shared with the website. They didn’t say it wasn’t shared with anyone at all.
Yeah, they’re just sharing your info with their 1000+ “legitimate interest” partners. Nothing sketchy about that, no sir.

A some recently website someone shared showed, there are some bits of data you automatically share with websites without them asking.
Did I just have a stroke, or is this comment incomprehensible to everyone else too?

Funny that it just doesn’t work with JS disabled.
Disabling js disables breaks fingerprinting, but also breaks a lot of websites
So funny that a site about tracking needs more tracking to work.
