To me, constantly complaining about sites/companies doing this stuff or wanting laws to make them stop... It just feels silly and pointless.
In the long term, companies will gather and use what data they have access to. Companies will tailor their UI, product, etc. in order to keep that data flowing. A ruleset based on permission and consent is not practical, unless the goal is "better paperwork."
The solution (imho) has to come from browser software or w3c. The browser should control permissions, in broadly the same way mobile OSs/appstore control permissions and login state.
ATM Google de-anonymizes you. This should just be impossible, unless the browser tells it who you are.
^I know gdpr is popular with a lot of people here. I think it has some good parts, but I disagree with other parts. We can still be friends and disagree :)
