    Which is why I had hoped the EU would ban all forms of fingerprinting and non-essential data tracking. But they somehow got lobbied into selecting cookies as the only possible mechanism that can be used, leaving ample room to track using other methods.

      How would that even be enforced?

          How do you prove they’re doing it?

            That might work if the fine was say $1.5 B

                The European Commission has fined Apple over €1.8 billion for abusing its dominant position on the market for the distribution of music streaming apps to iPhone and iPad users (‘iOS users') through its App Store

                EU knows how to get it done

                  Investigation, witnesses, gather evidence, build a case and present the evidence. Same as any other thing.

                  I don't get why this would be harder to prove than other things?

                    If you have reason to believe they are, you explain that reasoning to a court and if the reasoning is sufficiently persuasive the company can be compelled to provide internal information that could show whatever is going on.
                    Hiding this information or destroying it typically carries personal penalties for the individuals involved in it's destruction, as well as itself being evidence against the organization. "If your company didn't collect this information, why are four IT administrators and their manager serving 10 years in prison for intentionally deleting relevant business records?"

                    The courts are allowed to go through your stuff.
