This would result in marketers returning 200 responses to set the cookie and render a page with javascript that sets `window.location` instead, which would be even slower.
- Eridrus 12y agoI think this is worth hammering home. People want analytics information, and the only way we can do this now is by adding things like this. (Not strictly true, but ease of deployment, etc). Unless you shut down the only way to do something, the people who want this service will work around whatever restrictions have been put in place, and the solution we get will probably be even uglier. The real way to get rid of this is to provide a mechanism that addresses everyone's desires.
- chii 12y agothe problem is that these analytics are only beneficial to the owners or advertisers, which means if there's a way for users to turn off the supposed capability, then the advertisers would find a different way to do it, which results in much the same thing as today. it's a social problem, not a technological one imho.
