The number of users with accounts to log in to is a small proportion of site visitors. If it was a case of only needing consent from account holders then it would be possible to gain consent from a single user regardless of device. But since consent is required from every site visitor, the majority of whom do not have accounts, consent has to be cookie based and therefore collected on every device.

The good news is that if the value of online ads drops in every sense then the dead tree press could get a bit of an increase in ads...

and we have high level devs here too.

recent recruits ? why did you bother recruiting them now, surely it would have been better to recruit them before you did that upgrade ??

Mac/Chrome there is no way of getting rid of the pop up unless you click yes - there is zero option to adjust the preferences at all!

”Privacy policy” is useless as despite links to a few external sites - NONE are opt-outs.

Shouldn't there be a warning with it too?

Windows 10/Firefox all I get is accept and enter or don't. Can't find anywhere to adjust opt ins/outs.

If you are not a subscriber you are worth a little under 1p per day to us in ad revenue.

If you opt out of personalised ads that figure drops by around 25%

I'm surprised it is that much to be honest. How many ads does a user have to see to be worth the 1p?

It has been proven that you do not need many data points to deanonymise anonymous data.

Just two in the case of geo-tagged data sets!
