Hey GOG.

I was wondering. There's that privacy statement on your GOG Galaxy website saying: "We deeply respect our users, so we’ve also built GOG GALAXY to respect your privacy. We don’t track your personal data... we don’t even look for it."
Now .. the GOG website (incl. this forum) and thus the Galaxy client use a handful of Google trackers (Google Tag Manager, Fonts, Doubleclick). That's basically the exact opposit of your statement. Any plans on either changing the claim or removing these trackers?

Cheers

you up to something you shouldn't be?

Oh no, there's a numerical mark next to your IP that reads, "Went to GOG.com"?

If you haven't yet, you might want to add your vote to the following community wishlist items:
* Please add option to turn off sharing any information with Google Analytics.
* Stop using google analytics
* Disable google spying on gog.com

Thanks for the links, I will.

^ As inevitably sarcastic as some replies are, GOG is located in the EU and it's probably best to cure any discrepancies that various legislations and people could misinterpret later down the line, ie, it's worse to have a Privacy Policy that says you don't track when you do vs not having one at all (or a vaguely worded one).

Even if privacy doesn't matter to you, the attached pic is what GOG.com looks like with "noScript" enabled (blocked Facebook, blocked Twitter, etc). Personally I've found such sites with "embedded social media integration" are often faster at rendering with these scripts removed. It lowers browser RAM usage too (especially if you have a lot of tabs open), plus lowered CPU usage can improve battery life on mobile devices.

You actually put up a fair point; about the logical legality point, rather than the "paranoid whacko" argument I typically see.

How about just respecting other people's peaceful preferences? That seems like argument enough to me. Privacy doesn't matter to you, great...but for those who do care, let them have the option not to be tracked. Seems more reasonable than ad hominems, lol.
