LB: I don’t have cookie consent banners on my websites because I don’t need cookies: a result of not needing to keep any creepy persistent state about visitors (and not doing it just cause everyone else does)
@sinbad Same here!
Feels so good to have a website that doesn't ask for stupid "essential only" and "allow all" cookie garbage.
When talking about this with other friends who also run a business, I'm often met with the question "but don't you want to know where your potential customers clicked, and where they come from, ..." and to that I can always say: no, in fact I don't want to know.
I'd rather let the product speak for itself.
@molecularmusing A lot of the time people collect this stuff and do absolutely nothing with that information. They just collect it because they think it’s somehow useful to know and everyone else does it so it must be the industry standard. It’s nonsense, most sales and marketing is just throwing stuff at a wall and pretending you have a plan. If it doesn’t change your actions, you don’t need it. But performative nonsense is very common
@molecularmusing and some people are like “oh well it’s just nice to know more about our customers” - fine, ask them if you want that info, when they can choose not to share it. You don’t expect a store person to follow you around town seeing where else you’ve been just because they find it interesting

also, you can still count how often each page was loaded without tracking anyone.
sure, that's not as much information as seeing how exactly users navigate the page and how long they look at what, but at least it gives you an idea which pages might be hard to find
