Cloudlfare and other CDNs like it are a scourge on the Internet destroying privacy. At this point they have better tracking hooks than Google.
No JS required, just feed all web requests directly through them where they can see all first party cookies, encrypted contents, etc.
- robertlagrant 5y agoWhy would you send a CDN any cookies?
- teddyh 5y agoWhat do you think a CDN is? How do you think CDNs like Cloudflare works? They act as a complete proxy to all web requests, including cookies.
- robertlagrant 5y agoTruuuue. I suppose I meant cookies are normally an encrypted ID with a user salt. So what would be the harm? But you're right; my actual question was something else.
- edoceo 5y agoCF as a CDN is for much more than just sending static assets. Folk put whole-ass huge applications behind that infrastructure.
