    Today I have successfully managed to get the police to investigate the deployment of adtech software (scripts) without consent as a criminal offence under unauthorised computer access and misuse.

    I am basically arguing that deployment of these adtech payloads by websites and apps without consent, is a criminal offense.

    Doesn't this essentially argue any use of JavaScript requires consent?

      No, it argues that the use of javascript for purposes which require consent, requires consent...

      EU law only allows strictly necessary use for the provision of the requested service so adtech and analytics require consent as they are not considered as strictly necessary.
