      And which language would it start in, in order to offer you this list?

      Imagine if every site did this, it would be so cumbersome. Worse than the cookie banners.

      And either way, when you select the language, you’ve given them the fingerprinting data anyway. 😂 Completely pointless.

        The language that is chosen in the top level domain of the URL.

        If it is a domain.es it is in Spanish.

        If it is a domain.co.uk it is in English.

        If it is a domain.it it is in Italian.

        Or just the main language where the website is located. It isn’t difficult to add a language icon somewhere at the top or bottom.

        Nothing about it needs to track the user. The only info you give them is that you can speak a certain language. Not that it is your main language. Or that you can only understand one.

          Like the other person said, you’ve already become a data point by visiting the page.

          Nothing about it needs to track the user. The only info you give them is that you can speak a certain language. Not that it is your main language. Or that you can only understand one.

          Needs to, no, but they will. Regardless of whether or not it’s your main language, you will be a data point by selecting your preferred display language. Unfortunately, of course.
