What info? My IP address and the pages I've visited inside their site? By visiting a site I know I'm giving that info to them, they can do whatever they want with it.
- jeltz 3y agoNot without breaking the law.
- qtzfz 3y agoWhich is why it's a stupid law that has made everybody's lives worse, both the businesses and the users.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoWhy is it a stupid law? Why should businesses be free to look up the IP and figure out who is looking at their page? An IP can reveal a lot of information, especially if there's servers hanging off of it.
- illiarian 3y ago> What info? Any personally identifiable information. GDPR is not a complex law no matter how shady businesses and clueless devs are trying to tell you. It's also been in effect for 7 years. You'd think it's enough time to have at least some clue on what it's about. And yet we still have these inane threads on HN claiming it's about cookie popups, and people having no idea what info trackers collect.
- mschild 3y agoThat's great if youre fine with it. I'm not. I don't want some shitty, 3rd rate, ad slinging company to know what websites I visited.
