Removing cookie-based tracking from this website

89 words (about 1 minutes.)

I’ve removed gaug.es visitor counting from this website, for the following reasons:

  1. this blog receives nowhere near the number of hits necessary to justify it;
  2. although I trust gaug.es to be less invasive than (e.g.) Google Analytics, there’s still no good reason to really be tracking what kind of devices people are using and where they’re coming from—even if it’s anonymous.

The double advantage of this is that there are now literally no cookies on this website, and therefore, there is no need for a cookie warning any more.
