Assignment problem: The Astounding Appliances sales team wants to collect more information from visitors to the company website to better understand the website users' experience. In addition to the information already collected in website cookies and via the two-question survey (mentioned in Part of the lab exercise), the sales team wants visitors to indicate their age.
Question 1: Disregarding any laws and regulations that may influence how the company collects this data, do you think that the need for collecting this data outweighs the risks to Astounding Appliances that are posed by collecting it? Why or why not?
