   personal data means anything that makes you personally identifiable, including e.g. browser fingerprinting, which could include adblocker detection

     @ic3l9 it's slightly ambiguous because it apparently doesn't cover things like information that would be used for progressive or platform-specific rendering. It's one bit of identifiable data.

     @Moon i wouldn't bet money on it being turbo illegal either, but there is definitely a gradient of questionableness between having the client select stylesheets and media files depending on what is supported, using javascript fuckery to figure out what could be supported, phoning home browser info to select content, creating a fingerprint for tracking, gating certain features from certain browsers because you assume they would not work and finally denying service based on browser configuration for marketing reasons

     @ic3l9 yeah, found some policy papers about the directive in question and they admit that adblocker detection is a grey area and propose three different solutions to it, one of them is "do it anyway and see if they sue you successfully because it's not clear". The guy in that thread has a letter from an EU person saying explicitly that adblocker detection is a covered by the privacy directive but a letter isn't legally binding and the guy should know that.
