    They’re all just as bad as meta. Click on “manage options” and see how many times these fuckers are selling your data 😡

      Who the fuck is upvoting this

      LGF’s policy is one of the most upfront and protective ones I’ve ever seen, second only to something like Pluralistic or other sites which simply don’t do ads. Maybe I’m missing something, but it looks like they make it clear they run Google Ads which require cookies, tell you how to opt out of the data collection on Google’s side, and promise not to leak your information to anyone except Google.

      Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on the site.

      Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet.

      Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

      We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

      We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

      Whether you believe their privacy policy is a separate issue, but if you’re gonna pick out someone’s privacy policy to call cunty and complain about, this is about the last one I would do it to.

        Hi, I’m Lemmy BadTakes! You may remember me from such films as “Biden’s exactly the same as Trump” and “Sure Russia’s a homicidal one-party kleptocracy where questioning the leader means prison and challenging him means death. But the United States has racist police and wealth inequality, which is actually far worse!”
