“Privacy harms of online tracking are not limited to cookies so we would wish to understand what the government and the regulator propose, especially with regards to a browser-based signal.”

This is a big issue. Everybody talks about cookies while there are still other ways to track people.

Legislation will always lag behind reality here but if there was political will, you could still have privacy protected. It is not about regulating technicalities and more about legislating the ownership of data and how and if that ownership can be transferred. This would and should also impact trade with data and its market value that is hard to understand for most people.

I fully agree. My theory is that "cookie" is just a term that people memorize. Other tracking methods dont have such fancy terms. It is OK for professionals, but for decision makers that are no experts in that field, it is hindering.
