[Foundation-l] Wikipedia tracks user behaviour via third partycompanies #2

[Mark (Markie)]

I would say this is exactly the same issue and it is still present.  I would
like to see this removed and the context explained as to whether this was
deliberate tracking or as to whether it is a side affect of the method used.
 Either way it is my belief that it shouldn't happen.
Regards

Mark
