wat.
Standard log formats capture IP, and have ~forever. Who claims this is an ethical quandary?
- Tomte 9y agoI won‘t address „ethical“, but collecting full IP addresses has been discussed as possibly illegal in Germany for years now. And since the recent European court decision, I suppose it is settled: yes, illegal.
- aeorgnoieang 9y agoWhat's a 'not full' IP address?
- matt4077 9y agoLeaving the last three digits out of logs gives you all the information you might need without making it possible to tie it back to a specific user. Google Analytics actually has an option for that.
