"We care about your privacy!"

Here is a fun thing. I work for Vivaldi Browser. Load any of our websites and you see no cookie banner and no mention of partners.
"But wait" you say, "didn't those terrible Europeans mandate the cookie banner!?"
No, no they did not. We do not need a cookie banner because we are not selling all your shit to every company under the sun.
Also those sites with cookie banners are just doing malicious compliance. This was never about the EU requiring cookie banners!
The one wierd trick to not having a cookie banner is… wait for it… Do not sell out your users!
Who knew!?

Apparently the Fediverse actually did know because guess what, whenever I visit an instance I am also not asked to click through a cookie banner. Again, SO WEIRD!

@ruari the bit the companies don't say is that EU requires informed consent to share your data.
Cookie banners are a deliberately poor implementation for collecting consent. And many of them are not compliant because they don't inform.

Also I just switched off JS and read your fucking article anyway. What you and your partners gonna do about that? 🤪
@ruari
they care about your privacy, that's why they're keeping it private between them and all their partners. -

In the real world still, if a person says to you, "This is my partner", that basically means something like, "If you trust me, you can trust them" and/or "this person can speak on my behalf because they know me really well".
But online "partner" apparently now just means "a collection of companies whose names I could not even recount without looking them up in a database or spreadsheet I have somewhere".
@ruari
"These are my partners, and if you trust me, you can trust them"."Either way, you fucked up by trusting any of us".

I only share my economy with one person and my highest level of trust is with that same person. It's my wife. She is the one person in this world I would give the label "partner".
Apparently I am holding myself back. I need to collect a few more thousand partners.
@ruari@velocipederider.com you just have to use abstinence-based sex education’s definition of “partner”
(for those unaware: “when you have sex with someone, you’ve had sex with everyone they’ve ever had sex with, and everyone that those people have ever had sex with, so on, and so on”)

@ruari My sole public-facing website is a GPX file visualiser. When I made it public I added a privacy statement:
"Privacy: I don't set any cookies, or store any data. All processing is done in your browser so I have no access to your routes "
It's easy, unless you come from the position that screwing fractional cents out of every page load is a business model

@bhtooefr That is some fucked up logic but ok.

@HodgesC Exactly this!

"We care about your privacy!"
Us and our ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR "partners". Hah ha!
Also fuck off!
@ruari Wow... I've seen a lot on these things, but... Wow...

@ruari that's nice, sincerely.
Related question: in Firefox and derivatives, I can look at the Ublock filter on each page to choose between links. If one webpage has 85 elements blocked, a second with similar info or capability has 12, and a third has zero, then I'd recommend the third in conversations. Because not everyone's using Vivaldi, is there a way to see what on a page was blocked by it?

@ruari If you don't surveil and sell your visitors, then you don't need cookie banners. It's very simple.
The only ones who don't seem to get this very simple fact are the tech bros trained by laissez-faire capitalists to hate the EU for daring to regulate their privacy invasions.
