I hope that doesn't happen because Adblock Analytics is 100% cookieless and doesn't track visitors via any method, we're only interested if ads were displayed or not, but we do have some ideas if it does happen.
- jimktrains2 11y agoI just hope more people start running with NoScript and then all this nonsense is meaningless anyway:)
- ryan-c 11y agoI'm actually just running a script blocker in default deny now - running an adblocker as well doesn't seem to be necessary.
- rbinv 11y agoIf cookieless, how do you accurately aggregate/assign pageviews per visitor?
- yummyfajitas 11y agoBrowser fingerprinting is one possible way. https://panopticlick.eff.org/ https://panopticlick.eff.org/ [edit: clarified that this is a solution, I have no knowledge as to whether that is what is done.]
- rbinv 11y agoDo you actually know that fingerprinting is used or is just an assumption?
- ryan-c 11y agoThey seem to only be collecting screen resolution, viewport size and whether ads are showing client side (tested by trying to load a file called ads.js that inserts a div into the dom). I assume server-side they combine this with user agent string and ip address.
