Hi guys,
Chiming in here as a Fairphone team member and the guy who may have insight into website privacy settings.
I’d like to turn this around and ask you what you would advise is the best way to go - to ensure the privacy of users of the Fairphone website.
The reality is that we use Google analytics or analytics in our newsletter mail client so that we can improve our communications. If we see a surge of people coming from France, then this could influence what content we create for a French-speaking audience, like delivering a website landing page in French. Another example is that it’s really helpful to see which blog posts are most-read: is our community more interested in reading about mining or software?
Turning these tools off would really limit our ability to improve the work we do.
So if you can think of ways to improve these tools (Google Analytics) and make them more private/anonymous, let me know. I don’t install these tools myself, but off the top of my head, all these analytics are anonymous. The example of Facebook Social Graph, is one I can research, can you give more information on what you see as the problem?
