@neil Hmm "like device fingerprinting, where they involve storage or access"
My understanding is that normally device fingerprinting involves no "storage" on the device, just what the device already has/is.
@neil I may have to go re-read PECR, I thought it covered "access" of what you "stored", but as always, I may be wrong.
If it is indeed "access" to "any" information, then every single GET includes information from the device, such as the URL you are requesting, the referring page, etc, which the server "accesses", and would make every single web request come under PECR. So I am not sure it can be that wide and make any sense (LOL, assuming it makes sense).
@neil Quite!!!
@neil Out of interest, does it work both ways.
If I get a web page, I'm "accessing" information on the server. Does PECR apply to me? What if my personal web server/device?
Basically wondering how badly this is drafted 🙂
