Comment on Ask HN: How much tracking is okay?

Comments

First party vs Third party tracking is a big divide.

If you are tracking on your own web site and using it for your own purposes then you can draw a boundary around it and be able to make some ethical decisions about what you do.

If on the other hand you put on a Google or Facebook tracker then you have wider issues, particularly that Google and Facebook tracker data leaks out to fourth and fifth parties.
