Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

A cookie notice that seeks permission to share your details with "848 of our partners" and "actively scan device details for identification".
I'm on the verge.
I just occasionally wipe everything. I have to reenter passwords and such but it isn't a big deal.
I'd like to see a cookie notice that just says "it's your browser, figure out how to get it to handle cookies however you want. If you accept cookies we're gonna use them and you can safely assume we'll use them for anything and everything they might be useful for. European regulators can eat a bag of dicks."
We all have a fundamental right to privacy, which is constantly violated. Not just on a daily basis, but on a minute by minute basis.
But to play devil's advocate for a moment to assuage some FUD around posts like this, how many of the absurd amount of cookies overlap in otherwise innoculous ways. For instance, product tracking cookies. Say you bought a pumpkin on Amazon, and that drops a gorde cookie, a pumpkin spice cookie, a cornucopia cookie etc.
That's certainly not the same as buy a pumpkin, track your location around the nearest pumpkin patch, read your grandma's emails about pumpkins, and collect information to determine your likelihood of buying another pumpkin based on your sexual orientation.
The latter certainly exists, but does anyone know much about the former? How prevalent would they be in that 850?
