Most of this reply has nothing to do with mine.

Your post that I replied to was about fingerprinting caused by DNT.

This has nothing to do with ePrivacy. Websites don't get to "follow one regulation but not another", so if you fingerprint someone and create an ID that can identify someone, that's PII. If you don't get consent, you're breaking GDPR, period, regardless of following ePrivacy or not.

Once again: the DNT header is only an issue for fingerprinting and side-channels on website that DON'T follow GDPR.

I mentioned ad blocking because anti-ad-blocking posts here also mention the same concern about "ad blocking helping fingerprinting".
