But you're not using the IP addresses in the logs to circumvent the fact that cookies are being deleted by your user's device right? Because it looks like that's what Google was doing, and that's actively circumventing the decision of the user not to be tracked which is illegal in many places.
- oefrha 6y agoI don’t use GA on my own websites, or analytics cookies, or tracking pixels, or whatever. But I sometimes use goaccess on my server logs which tells me the number of unique visitors (based on unique IPs) and such. Whether they visited in private sessions or not, of course. So I guess in a sense I’m “tracking” them through logged IP addresses, but it’s completely orthogonal to whether incognito mode is on.
- w7 6y agoMy interpretation of this article is it's related to incognito mode. How is it circumventing a "decision of the user not to be tracked" when "private" modes usually explicitly state they can't/don't stop websites from logging information.
