> Why are you tracking when it's an undisputed evil?

Not that tracking. You know what I mean: tracking by ad networks and international corporations.

We are tracking events (users clicked on the button) in an anonymous fashion. We do not collect PII. We do not store IPs. We do not correlate behaviors with user ids. We simply track how many people clicked the button and on what page. This is hardly privacy invasive at all.

> Is getting consent interruptive? yes. Is that worse than not getting consent? Also yes.

I'm not entirely sure about the latter. First of all, I don't believe in the slightest that the site will respect my choice. Second, even if the site itself does, the ad network present on the site, definitely will track me no matter what.

In other words, consent banners are cargo cult, do not work in practice and are a net negative for the world.

It was an obvious idea but didn't work, unfortunately due to the fact that ad network absolutely have to look down users' ass and they will not cease this practice.

> users that have it enabled can automatically opt out of your tracking

They can install adblock and wholesale opt out of all the bullshit, including insane cookie consent banners.

My business is not California or US based and thus I don't have to implement the vast variety of of cargo cult laws in existence.
