By an interesting parallel....

....some of the most difficult locks to pick can be those that are just 'buggy' and worn. The kind where you need to lift your key or rattle it in the lock just-so to get it to open :-)

> current implementations inconvenience the user

The scummy business model used by advertisers is to deliberately make it inconvenient to opt out of their tracking.

All that is needed by GDPR is a simple 'tick yes' to opt in to tracking if you wish to be tracked or personally identified. (No need to ask permission for 'ordinary' cookies).

You should ask yourself why you are doing business with companies with such as shady business model.

Of course....

....and my point was that positioning solutions should not solely assume GPS, otherwise some nasty surprises can lie in wait.

> an American friend tell me “guys” was sexist.

How odd.

Did you ask why they are so sensitive? Most of us elsewhere on the planet would laugh at such a ridiculously petty statement.

Aren't a tech company.......

Why they are considered as such by many on here (alongside AirBNB to mention another name) is either a source of puzzlement, or a triumph of marketing, depending who you ask.

> created a GPS black hole

Many navigation systems exist beside GPS...... which is itself one of four Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

You are incorrect.

The GDPR does not require consent for cookies.

HOWEVER, if you are using those cookies to track or spy on me (advertisers take a bow) then you need to ask my explicit permission to do so. And so you should.

(Take away your scummy business model, and you remove the need for cookie banners).

What on Earth are you talking about?
