But HN doesn't have any facebook trackers
- mandmandam 5y agoI wonder how sure we can be of that.
- Renaud 5y agoHit F12 on your browser and look at the network traffic. HN only loads a handful of files: the html page, a style sheet, a JavaScript file and a few GIFs for the arrows and faveicon. The JS is uncompressed and very readable. It only contains logic for site use, no code to call back some other trackers. A perfect example of site that doesn't need to use client-side analytics to sell ads.
- mandmandam 5y agoCool, cool. Try using your imagination though.
- artificial 5y agoWell, these days server side api… er Conversions API is the way to go. This way if the user blocks the browser pixel the data can still be acquired for certain events, say a purchase. Google Tag Manager server side has something similar.
