Someone has used the Google Meet call booking service to arrange a call with me at 6:15pm today to talk about “GTM [Google Tag Manager] using Magento” and that’s all the context I have.
I’m expert with GTM. I have tried to avoid Magento as much as reasonably possible.

I’m going to 2X them.

I’m now not feeling any guilt about my rudeness. They are absolutely tracking people on their own website without consent and when I called them out the reply was “That’s intentional. Let’s keep that between ourselves”
consent.studio for anyone wondering.
Absolutely despicable.

Much discussion ensued. They were working to Dutch law and haven't got themselves a geolocation service.
The lesson I think is "consent stuff is hard, but worth doing. Especially if you're selling cookie banners as a service".
Also they are loading fonts directly from Google servers. That's a no-no according to a German ruling.
In their defence, they took my criticism in stride and I ended up feeling bad for being rude.

Someone on Reddit sent me a chat request because they can see me posting / commenting about cookie consent. They've invited me to take a look at their "competitor to CookieBot" and I've just handed them their arse because their website is opting me in to analytics tracking without consent.

I like it except for the zero, but I don't know why I don't like the zero, so I'm going to shut up now.

if anything they will go after the dev directly. That’s been their way of doing things until now.
I’ve no idea what the state of emulation is like on Android, but many years ago I had practically every possible emulator on my Nexus phone and there were plenty to choose from.

Finally. Emulators are starting to appear in the iOS app store.
The Delta emulator is a multi-Nintendo system emulator and it works really nicely.
