Re: Fingerprints are the new cookies

> Remember the big fuss about third-party cookies? It was so big that the EU had already rolled out one of its greatest inventions - consent banners.

It was never about cookies. Thats what the industry made you think. You don't need to show consent banners for cookies (like auth sessions). You need consent for tracking. This includes profiling. And it doesn't matter what you use, fingerprinting or tracking cookies, the consenst banner is required either way.
