Fair point. And thanks. I think now that my position - while how it should be, consistent with the GDPR and repeated at multiple places - is possibly not in line with a court decision from 2019 or so, that interpreted the e-Privacy Directive in a wrong way imho, and at the very least might depends on local practice of how EU "law" is applied. So you two are probably right.

Ridiculous to govern non-privacy relevant tech usage like this. I still think that's illegal where I live. Regardless, let's hope the e-Privacy Regulation or future court decisions solve this.
