While I'm not aware of privacy changing substantially, speaking of
fantastic names, Kraken is going to change things a bit compared to 2010:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Kraken/Data_Formats
I didn't find a human-readable overview but the gist seems to be that
WMF will log the same (partial) data, but for 100 % of visits rather
than 1/1000.
More technical members of the list will be able to tell more from the
specifications and source code.
Interesting... I couldn't really find much information about the privacy
concepts of Kraken, though the flow diagram suggests that the raw data
(which I suppose includes the kind of data we discussed earlier, i.e.
IP, time and date, accessed content, ...) is kept for 7 days until it is
anonymized. Is that true? If so, it seems like a huge mistake to me.
