@codinghorror @lispi314 @leymoo They may be well-intentioned* but they're not well-designed or doing everything right. They're tracking visitors without their consent.
* Normally I would not even call this well-intentioned, but as I said upthread, the fact that every web framework *automatically sets session cookies assuming you want to break the law and track users* even when the user has not indicated that they want to do something like log in or store a shopping cart, means a lot of people *don't even know they're doing it*. But this doesn't excuse it; it just makes them "well-intentioned".
