Lintian tag: privacy-breach-statistics-website
Type: error
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
This package creates a privacy breach by fetching data from an external
website in order to compile visitor statistics.
Please ask upstream to use the free software web analytics engine Piwik,
which respects the "Do Not Track" browser option.
This tag covers the following websites:
- cruel-carlota.pagodabox.com
- linkexchange.com (defunct)
- nedstatbasic.net
- onestat.com
- statcounter.com
- sitemeter.com
- webstats.motigo.com
Please replace any scripts, images, or other remote resources with
non-remote resources. It is preferable to replace them with text and links
but local copies of the remote resources are also acceptable as long as
they don't also make calls to remote services. Please ensure that the
remote resources are suitable for Debian main before making local copies
of them.
