I think there should be an option, and maybe it should be the default, to only show the visitor profile when a user has consented to be tracked. Considering the visitor profile can be quite "creepy" and give detailed insights, and it's more than just plain tracking. I think for user privacy perspective this change should be considered.

The name itself says it, it's more profiling than tracking. There should also be an easy option to disable this feature.

After some consideration I'm closing this issue again. Instead the visitor profile feature becomes automatically "useless" when cookies are disabled. Then the fingerprint changes every day and you can't really see a profile for a user anyway.

Should someone think this feature is still needed please comment.
