It’s certainly educational. But it uses terms and concepts kids won’t understand, so they’ll ignore it, and just pay attention to the animation.

If LEGO is being honest, then it’s fine. Cookies and trackers in and of themselves are not bad, they’re just often misused. If an honest site or company is using them correctly, they aren’t harmful. We’re just so jaded by companies that started out good and went bad in this regard.

So, is LEGO lying?

I think the Video is misleading. The image of putting the child's personal data into a vault may imply they are not given away. Quite easy to understand for a child: Vault = Safe and Secure. But a closer look to the Privacy Policy shows, that thats not true and everything that prevents lego to give away the personal data is opt-out.
Just a short excerpt as an example:
"As noted above, we disclose certain information (such as your email address) to Google (to opt-out...)"

Kids nowadays are being constantly exposed to things they should not. They should be protected at all costs.

I can say at the very least that being transparent on how personal data are used (on any website/app/service) is, rather, mandatory in my opinion.

Update:

By scrolling through the comment section a bit more carefully, this "educational" video is misleading, using false claims, with children, that are super easy to convince, being the victims.

This is bad.
