Comment on European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying
laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months agoAd networks could still work, they just wouldn’t have the targeting data to work with or the usage data they can sell as an entirely unrelated business model. They were profitable before the current big data push, there’s no reason they couldn’t continue to be profitable without that big data again
