Stop being so hysteric, if you want to avoid first-party analytics then don't use the service, if someone reads my blog I have the full right to find out how long my articles are read. Protesting against first-party tracking is like protesting against visitor counters in shops and security cameras, luddism.
- Tsubasachan 8y agoActually there are a lot of things the law says about security cameras in my country... Thankfully analytics can be blocked if someone so desires.
- dcbadacd 8y agoThere is quite a bit that EU laws say about analytics as well... What's your point?
- lostapathy 8y agoI'm not being hysteric, I'm just pointing out that the parent poster was kind of offering a a false worldview. It's not that some of his users want to be tracked and some don't, it's more that some are aware of how to ask to not be tracked and some aren't aware.
- dcbadacd 8y agoBut you're leaving out those people who actually do not care and those who find it okay to a certain extent, that was my point.
- krageon 8y agoCalling someone who cares about his own privacy "hysteric" and rehashing the same tired old arguments (which inevitably boil down to "if you don't want me to do this, just make sure you don't touch my website even once!") doesn't do your position, whatever it is, a whole lot of justice.
- folkrav 8y agoBy that logic even Apache access logs are a privacy attack. Don't fall into fear mongering either, come on.
