![[Opinion] If your site uses an external domain for determining if a user consents to tracking or not, you are still providing a vector for tracking, whether you and your user choose to allow it or not](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/d6f7fc3a-b4b8-42b6-9666-78279711c30b.png){kind=link}
Something I noticed on a few websites, including stackoverflow, is that they leave tracking settings up to a different website, which still lets that external party know what websites a user has been seeing, and this can be maliciously abused.
I realize this might have been mentioned before, but I didn’t see any similar posts in a quick search.
I’ve noticed this too and it’s ridiculous. How hard is it to keep cookies on your own domain? All this third party BS on websites needs to die.
I run a business and guess what? Zero third party dependencies. I don’t need to harass my users about cookies because the only time I use them is for logging in/out.
