No there should not be a cookie banner. Just do not collect any information from the website that is not necessary. You are selling a product, not hosting a free website, there is absolutely no reason my information should be shared for advertising with any third party.

But yeah if you want to keep that shit in than you should put a cookie banner and make everyone annoyed at you.

I think you’re being unfair.

I’m trying to run a small business.

Building a custom store page is definitely on the list, but until then, I have to make do with what I can buy off the shelf.

Third party cookies exist because that’s how Facebook tracks ad conversions. That’s why they exist, I am not selling web traffic data or anything like that.

The alternative is not advertising on Facebook or building my own link-based attribution integration with Facebook. But see above: I am trying to run a small hardware business.

I suppose I should be lamenting the state of the web as a whole but it really does not feel nice to visit a website of a very cool product and see things like https://shop.invisible-computers.com/pages/ccpa-opt-out.

Do you really have no way of opting users out by default if you want to use fb advertising?

But then I cannot use fb advertising.
