[Opinion] If your site uses an external domain for determining if a user consents to tracking or not, you are still providing a vector for tracking, whether you and your user choose to allow it or not (lemmy.world)

Something I noticed on a few websites, including stackoverflow, is that they leave tracking settings up to a different website, which still lets that external party know what websites a user has been seeing, and this can be maliciously abused.

I realize this might have been mentioned before, but I didn't see any similar posts in a quick search.
