This is a form of data collection and tracking that is definitely against GDPR unless the user is informed of it and consents to it. As it stands, there is no such notification or consent. IANAL but I strongly suspect will get you fined in the EU.
- pyrolistical 4y agoWhat personal information is being collected here?
- erdos4d 4y agoGDPR doesn't just cover personal info, it also forbids tracking without consent, which includes cookies and other means. This is just a technical trick to track someone sans cookie, so I'm 100% certain they will fine anyone doing it unless they get consent.
- LegionMammal978 4y agoThe GDPR is entirely about personal data stored by the processor [0]. In principle, if the tracking is entirely client-side, and never produces any traces in how the client accesses your server, then the GDPR alone has no ability to stop it. (Not to say that it cannot run afoul of other regulations.) If the results of the tracking are somehow sent back to your server, then it most likely becomes personal data subject to the GDPR.
