why “strictly necessary” cookies can’t be used in the same way as advertising cookies

249 viewsOther

For example, couldn’t I give my visitor a cookie like MySpammySiteLoginStatus=logged-out and then anyone can see they visited MySpammySite? Additionally, couldn’t I hide other information in relatively simple codes, like deciding whether or not to add toolbar preference cookies based on whether or not the user got to the shopping cart?

The law says they can’t. 

Is there anything physically stopping them from breaking the law and doing it anyway? No, of course not.
