While clicking around a website’s privacy policy, I found an option “if you don’t want us or Google to use analytics, click here” more or less.
It’s Google own opt out extension, https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Is it that simple to block sites use of Google analytics? I mean, otherwise, are Privacy Badger or Port Authority doing the same thing, just not Google’s tool? Is Google’s a honeypot or Trojan horse you think?
FWIW uBlock should be blocking Google Analytics, even uBlock Lite should block Google Analytics given that it’s just a few domains. I wouldn’t install an extension by Google if my life depended on it, and I certainly wouldn’t install one that promises to block a way Google makes money.
Right, my thought exactly. How ironic though, right? It’s contradictory IMO, and maybe legally they have to have something existing and that’s why is buried several links down? Idk.
Legally speaking it has no value, the extension is more of an attempt to seem compliant, without actually being.
