    Disabling cross site cookie is already a thing for decades…

    Same with Do Not Track requests.

      Do Not Track has never really done anything, it just asks websites politely to not track you. There’s no legal or technical limitation here.

        I still much rather have it than not. It also lead to the spiritual successor GPC which does actually have regulatory requirements under the CCPA.

        Thank you for your explanation, tbat greatly clears up my confusion.

        TBH, if a person’s concern is being tracked by, for example, Facebook; then this just lets Facebook continue tracking them without directly allowing Facebook’s anaylitics customers to track them to another site directly (but indirectly that information can still be provided). But I guess for all the people giving FB and Google those proviledges better to have this than not.
