Using Google Fonts Breaches GDPR – Interdependent Thoughts
Remember when I said you should avoid third-party dependencies?
A simple, real-time website scanner to see what invisible creepers are lurking in the shadows and collecting information about you.
Looks good for adactio.com, thesession.org, and huffduffer.com …but clearleft.com is letting the side down.
Remember when I said you should avoid third-party dependencies?
Prompted by my article on third-party code, here’s a recommendation to ditch any embeds on your website.
Laura and I are on the same page here.
Chris is doing another end-of-year roundup. This time the prompt is “What is one thing people can do to make their website bettter?”
This is my response.
I’d like to tell you something not to do to make your website better. Don’t add any third-party scripts to your site.
Even if you can somehow justify using tracking technologies (which don’t work reliably) to make general, statistical decisions (“fewer people open our emails when the subject contains the word ‘overdraft’!”), you can’t make individual decisions based on them. That’s just wrong.
It’s time to have the conversation. You’re old enough to know where stats come from.
Do you have permission for those third-party scripts?
Ain’t no third party like a Google Analytics third party.
Fear of a third-party planet.
Google Analytics is not the only option.
