Marketing and sales people usually ask to have tons of third party scripts loaded everywhere and devs don't have power to turn them down. They need analytics for their work. It's a bad idea from security standpoint for sure.
- soared 9y agoYeah, management and marketing need web analytics. If you don't want 3rd party scripts you'd have to, what, roll your own analytics software? There is some open source analytics tools you could self host, but they're garbage compared to google/adobe/etc.
- kevin_thibedeau 9y ago> Yeah, management and marketing ... should get off their duff and analyze their own internal server logs.
- flukus 9y agoThat's when you discover what they really want it flashy graphs and charts, they don't actually care about the data.
- manigandham 9y agoServer logs dont have much useful information, especially for SaaS interfaces. You need to have the events from the actual UI tracked, which requires a lot more work and is the reason why these analytics tools are used.
