This is not exactly correct; unless the user consents, they still can't transmit this data to any 3rd party. I mean they can, but they're not allowed to. I mean they're not allowed to, but IF they investigate and IF they find evidence that data is shared with third parties and IF they can be arsed to proceed with legal action, the company using this technology MIGHT be in trouble.
It does work to circumvent ad- and tracking blockers though, if they can hide the endpoint and scripts well enough.
