[jira] [Commented] (JAMES-4109) Remove Google Analytics from the James Website

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4109?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17923128#comment-17923128 ] 

Benoit Tellier commented on JAMES-4109:
---------------------------------------

Indeed you are right. 
Looking at the actual content website generated there is google analytics on each and every page.
I was not aware of this and the projects does nothing with that.
Doing archeology I did indeed find the offender: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/skin/trunk/README.txt


This release include the google analytic javascript code at the bottom of every
generated page and specifically to page starting with "download" it will also add
a javascript to add tracking of "clicks" over the download links.

I propose to completly drop this behaviour for the time being.

Thanks for the report.

> Hi James Team
> The ASF {_}*Privacy Policy*{_}[1][2] does not permit the use of _*Google Analytics*_ on any ASF websites and the ASF Infra team will soon enforce a {_}*Content Security Policy*{_}(CSP) that will block access to external trackers:
>  * [https://lists.apache.org/thread/w34sd92v4rz3j28hyddmt5tbprbdq6lc]
> Please could you remove the use of the Google Analytics from the James website?
>  * [https://lists.apache.org/thread/d5kbn6c9k1ovj9l6m8n24qc0bhzjd05c]
> The ASF hosts its own _*Matomo*_ instance to provide projects with analytics and you can request a tracking id for your project by sending a mail to *privacy AT apache.org.*
>  * [https://privacy.apache.org/faq/committers.html#can-i-use-web-analytics-matomo]
> Additionally I would recommend reviewing any external resources loaded by your website. The Content Security Policy will prevent any resources being loaded from 3rd Party providers that the ASF does not have a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with. On the 1st February Infra will begin a temporary "brownout" when the CSP will be turned on for a short period. This will allow projects to check which parts, if any, of their websites will stop working. The Privacy FAQ answers a number of questions about which external providers are permitted or not:
