Can Google track me if I use Google Web Fonts?

问题 By using Google Web Fonts can/does Google process the text of the webpage (despite disallowed by robots.txt) track the visitors of the webpage, and (theoretically) recognize them track the changes made to the webpage (despite robots.txt) Except knowing that another download is made to their font and css file, of course. :) I assume Google naturally would/could count and track the number of visitors of my webpage, is this right? edit: "I", "my" - I've tried to use these terms as "generally

Fullcalendar: can it work with Google Calendars set to private?

眉间皱痕 提交于 2019-12-04 15:58:04
I’m working in a project in which I need to use the Google Calendar (or similar) to provide the calendar functionality. However, every time a task is added to the calendar I need it to be added to my own database too. Also, I may want to sort which data goes to each place. For example, I’m scheduling an activity for a certain day and time and with a certain title and description and this last parameter is stored only in my DB, whilst the other 3 are stored both in the Google Calendar back-end (as it normally happens) and in my database. I browsed the internet for a solution and found this

Linking to Google PlusOne, without embedding the button (for privacy reasons)

坚强是说给别人听的谎言 提交于 2019-12-04 10:20:39
It seems that Google only offers code to embed the +1 button. However, there are heavy privacy concerns (plus quite some load time) associated with it. For some pointers about the privacy and legal issues associated with Facebook like and Google +1, see: Like button and privacy concern A common workaround seems to be a two-click solution German ( also discussed on slashdot English ), where the first click enables the button (loading the javascript from Google), the second then is on the regular +1 button. However, I do not want to implement this two-click solution either. Largely because the

Ruby on Rails private link sharing: Google Docs Style

|▌冷眼眸甩不掉的悲伤 提交于 2019-12-04 05:35:11
What would be the best way to go about giving users the ability to share a private link that enables anyone who clicks it to view a certain page/document/item that have privacy restrictions in place? In my case: A User creates events which are limited to certain groups of relationships in the database (namely: friends, friends of friends, etc.) I have a :before_filter in the event controller that checks the eligibility of the current logged in user to make sure that that user has permission to see the event. If they don't they get booted to the root page with an error message. However, I want

Like button and privacy concern

為{幸葍}努か 提交于 2019-12-03 14:10:01
I'm operating a website within the EU and nowadays there's no way without those social buttons all around (according to "them" "up there"). Recently there's a concern about the legality of this in the EU , notably the collection of user information sent to the US servers without explicit user consent. There was a German report on golem.de, along with advice from a lawyer (sorry, German only) that it would be sufficient if the integrated like button would not automatically trigger an interaction with the US server per se, but only with user consent, i.e. manual interaction such as the click. We

Why does Magento use 2 cookies per session?

孤者浪人 提交于 2019-12-03 11:26:02
For data security and privacy reasons I want to know why Magento uses two cookies for one frontend session. All I know is that one of them is being set in Mage_Core_Model_Cookie::set(..) and the other one in Zend_Session::expireSessionCookie() , but still I can't seem to figure out what they are used for. I just can't think of any reason why one would need a second cookie for the same domain. I'm going to call this one vestigial code. Varien relies heavily on the Zend Framework as the underpinning for Magento, so many of the classes (Zend_Session for instance) are used as parent classes for

How to detect if a user is using tracking protection in Firefox 42+

為{幸葍}努か 提交于 2019-12-03 02:27:42
Firefox has launched a feature called Tracking protection in v42.0. It blocks several tracking scripts such as Google Analytics, Marketo, LinkedIn, etc. I was trying to detect it through navigator.DoNotTrack , but it returns unspecified in both cases – browsing in regular mode, and browsing in private mode – using Firefox 42.0 on Mac. How can I detect in JavaScript whether a user is viewing the website with the Tracking protection on, since navigator.DoNotTrack fails? navigator.donottrack only shows the setting of the "Do not track" preference. It does not tell if tracking protection , which
