Technically they can load stuff that's "necessary"

But given that list I think they have implemented the banner incorrectly, pretty hard to make a case for Doubleclick being for anything other than marketing

[–] WASZUMFIKKE@feddit.org 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Incompentence, ignorance or malice. However, a complaint to the Belgian data protection office has been filed.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Exactly this.

There isn't a regulatory body that's browsing websites to ensure compliance. It's up to regular users to file complaints.

Thank you for your service

I know little about Doubleclick’s products. I imagine they might track users to report on site usage and navigation patters. These are things the website does have a legitimate interest in.

Doubleclick was the 2nd biggest ad network on the internet when Google bought them about a decade ago

Doubleclick is pretty much used exclusively as an adtech/marketing brand by Google these days. They typically do the kind of stuff you describe under their Google analytics product.

Also I'm 99% sure from the legal perspective of the consent banner legislation, tracking user journeys like you describe is specifically not "essential" functionality and must be consented to.

Pretty much the only stuff in the necessary category is stuff like login cookies, explicit user preferences and things like shopping cart IDs

Also I’m 99% sure from the legal perspective of the consent banner legislation, tracking user journeys like you describe is specifically not “essential” functionality and must be consented to.

Article 6, no. 1 lit a) GDPR:

[Processing shall be lawful] for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller […] except where such interests are overridden by the interests […] of the data subject

I’ll say it’s at least debatable how the controller’s and the data subject’s interest should be weighed.

Besides complying with the GDPR, to my knowledge, they also need to comply with the stricter German TDDDG, since I am a German user.

To me, it looks like the ones that are off are actually on due to that color on the toggle

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

yep that is by design. anything to get the user to allow spying on them

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

"Necessary" ist always active, that's the only way you can be relatively sure what's what.

It's how they charge you for using their service, not having yo pay them money doesn't mean that it's free. That extends to even looking at it.

Do you want to imply that wero earns money by selling your data? Did you check how wero works and what it is?
