I&#39;m confused; john, could you point to the element of the collected data that isn&#39;t collected already by default in any Nginx or Apache setup?  I agree that there might be a lack of user expectation, but &#39;silently capturing behavioral data&#39; seems somewhat hyperbolic to describe what&#39;s actually going on.<span></span><br><br>On Tuesday, 13 January 2015, John Mark Vandenberg &lt;<a href="mailto:jayvdb@gmail.com">jayvdb@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 9:22 AM, Andrew Gray &lt;<a href="javascript:;" onclick="_e(event, &#39;cvml&#39;, &#39;andrew.gray@dunelm.org.uk&#39;)">andrew.gray@dunelm.org.uk</a>&gt; wrote:<br>
&gt; Fair enough - I don&#39;t use it, and I think I&#39;d got entirely the wrong<br>
&gt; end of the stick on what it&#39;s for! If it&#39;s intended to stop tracking<br>
&gt; by third-party sites then it certainly seems to be of little relevance<br>
&gt; here.<br>
<br>
I think you&#39;re right to be concerned about this.<br>
It is about expectations; people do not expect a NGO providing an<br>
encyclopedia to be silently capturing reading behaviour data.<br>
<br>
If the data is provided to other entities, even for noble research<br>
objectives, people expect &quot;Do Not Track&quot; to cover this.<br>
