These types of "services" should be opt-in, not opt-out.



Not that it should be necessary, notion should not be violating you're privacy by default, but at least uBlock/uMatrix block the entire fullstory domain by default.


Precisely why I use it. Unfortunately it can't block everything, and it's under heavy attack[1], as we know.

...Christ. DMCA against a plain-text list of domains? What is this, Shadowrun?


In the EU they are by law. In reality not all websites disclose all services they share data with though. And all users click accept in the cookie pop-up anyway.


FullStory is not opt in.

Have you seen those pop ups with a button to consent to cookies and a link to a privacy page where usage of 3rd party services like Fullstory has to be disclosed? That's your opt-in.


It is not opt in if I do not have an option to decline. "By continuing to use our website you agree" is not opt in and isnt GDPR conform.
