In the old way, site owners who did not want to send data to 3rd parties could just NOT insert the "send data to 3rd parties" code into their website

Now they still have that option, but users have no technical means to determine whether this is happening

In the old days, servers could still share data with third parties, so in that sense, there never was any way to be sure.
