It’s not like it would be any more work to figure it out with a complex site. You still have to enumerate everything you’re tracking, add the ability to disable it, and make sure the site works without it. All you have to do is turn them all off rather than presenting an alert asking the user.

I understand why companies don’t do it that way. Tracking is worth money and they like money. What I don’t understand is why ordinary people make excuses for them.



At least here on HN, keep in mind some of the commenters may be working in adtech or operators of ad-supported sites. I.e., not ordinary people.
