Trying to understand Consent Forms, Cookies and Third-Party Vendors
Yo peeps, I’m currently looking into TCF Vendors, Ad partners and their whole corporate greed hellhole of tracking. I am writing a paper on this, and would like for everything to be factually correct. However, I am struggling to understand one particular part of this “transparency framework” and hope someone can help me clarify on cookie-duration.
As seen in the first thumbnail, the cookie duration is listed as 180 days. However, upon selecting > Storage Details, each cookie is displayed in further detail. In this detailed section, there are additional cookies with duration as high as 1825 days, not 180… So which is it? Currently, I’m (obviously) assuming the worst, as in, it being 1825 and not 180 days. There are additional cookies on this list, see spoiler below, that have cookies with the duration of 180 days. Why are the cookies with the highest duration listed on the first page? And if the answer is that “it would look worse”, then they also have cookies with lower amount of days than 180 that could have been used. There are multiple cookies with different durations, do all of them count?
