Otherwise how can we explain “please see our privacy policy and send us a sneaker email to opt out” kind of tracking options.
It's impossible to write things correctly the first or final time and especially with the interpretation of words changing over time it doesn't matter if you could.
Example: In cycling, they banned narrow handlebars. There's an aero advantage, but it was seen as a safety problem. So cyclists canted their brake hoods way inside, rested their hands on the brake hoods, and got an aero advantage.
And now there's a rule about brake hoods. Laws are meant only be living things that change as society changes, and also change to patch what we might call "exploits." You are perfectly correct: It's never one and done, it's an ongoing process.
That way, a misplaced comma or a wonky sentence doesn't allow for easy loopholes that need tighter laws to fix issues.
Now law text will work forever, but this format makes for a very solid foundation.
Imagine you write a program to do something and it doesn't work at all as expected and at the same time it causes endless annoyance to users.
A law is very similar to a program. It's software for the society. It didn't work and the authors are blaming everybody except themselves.
We put a lot of safeguards, exception handling and all kind of measures to control errors.
We’re also seeing tracking despite the lack of user consent as well. This could be a fluke but when I make anonymous search on website and switch to another, I’m seeing the product I have just searched in the ads. With all the tracking disabled I mind you.
I don't know if they'll finally find a way to control the spying, but how many years have passed since they made the law?
What is the unintended consequence of GDPR?
