yeah, i understand. we're trying to have a balance between these:

1. privacy of site visitors

2. compliance with privacy regulations

3. useful and actionable data for site owners

it's difficult to track people from visit to visit or from one device to another without breaking the first two (cookies, browser fingerprinting...) so we had to make some decisions.

in general sites that try to get visitor consent to cookies and/or to tracking realise that majority of them don't give it, so even the data that may not be as accurate as full on tracking becomes very valuable.
