It's not time to grant people agency over their data
#5
Yes... I too have noted the world of "cookie" and "tracking" data directly imprinted onto my computer... with only my 'general understanding' of how and why they are used.

Also, if you are diligent and 'exclude' certain cookies, java scripts, etc. you can't actually access website features, face disrupted functionality, or your downright blocked.  As if the third-parties were more important than the user... sad that.  I think it might telegraph the possibility that much of the internets' infrastructure has been seized by a relative few.  Which shouldn't be a problem - except they hide and refuse to be up-front about what they do.  Weak sauce.

I know it's a huge business... but I still never see anyone exposing "why" and "how much" when it comes to our information and its trade value... as if it were a "secret" currency.
