Oh, I didn’t know it had been acquired

It’s currently one of the best keypass clients I’ve used on any platform… I hope it doesn’t turn to shit.

Though I’ve been toying with moving to vaultwarden rather than keypass, so maybe that will be the final push if they start anything

Doubleclick was the 2nd biggest ad network on the internet when Google bought them about a decade ago

Doubleclick is pretty much used exclusively as an adtech/marketing brand by Google these days. They typically do the kind of stuff you describe under their Google analytics product.

Also I’m 99% sure from the legal perspective of the consent banner legislation, tracking user journeys like you describe is specifically not “essential” functionality and must be consented to.

Pretty much the only stuff in the necessary category is stuff like login cookies, explicit user preferences and things like shopping cart IDs

Technically they can load stuff that’s “necessary”

But given that list I think they have implemented the banner incorrectly, pretty hard to make a case for Doubleclick being for anything other than marketing
