Ecosia adds Microsoft Clarity and optional Google search results and advertising
ecosia.org
Ecosia adds "contractually forced" Microsoft Clarity tracking (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/about-clarity | privacy faq : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/faq#privacy), which will record the behaviour of users on the website. Recording clics, size, and more.
They will also add an optional Google setting. Enabling the cookie will allow to get search results from Google, but also to get tracked by Google.
Optional Microsoft advertising tracking is still a thing, tho it may not be necessary if Bing can get a fingerprint and behaviour of the user in real time...
This may be the final flow for Ecosia for me. Unless somehow the Microsoft Clarity can be private... But I don't think so.

I use Ecosia for the environmental aspect, not the privacy, so I'm gonna stay with it.
Same, plus clearing all cookies when closing the browser. Still, combining search tterms and IP is giving me pause.
Ecosia doesn't apply tracking cookies. And fingerprinting does not need cookies. It just needs to know what you are.
Device size, information, browser... And other shared info.
