yandex is now serving highly invasive tracking scripts
1) is now?
no, not now, yandex metrika and webvisor exists for the
last 10 years as far as i remember, known best alternative to google analytics, great instrument for webmasters, not for "tracking"
nobody worried about this until "research"
2) i rather will block domains who installed webvisor at websites/pages with sensitive information forms. not yandex itself
3) who told you that yandex.st is yandex metrics/webvisor?
this is a typical code of counter, as you can see the script is
https://mc.yandex.ru/metrika/watch.js
domain is
mc.yandex.ru (or
mc.yandex.com if you have non-ru account)
not yandex.st
Code: Select all
<!-- Yandex.Metrika counter -->
<script type="text/javascript" >
(function (d, w, c) {
(w[c] = w[c] || []).push(function() {
try {
w.yaCounter0000000 = new Ya.Metrika({
id:0000000,
clickmap:true,
trackLinks:true,
accurateTrackBounce:true,
webvisor:true,
trackHash:true
});
} catch(e) { }
});
var n = d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0],
s = d.createElement("script"),
f = function () { n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n); };
s.type = "text/javascript";
s.async = true;
s.src = "https://mc.yandex.ru/metrika/watch.js";
if (w.opera == "[object Opera]") {
d.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", f, false);
} else { f(); }
})(document, window, "yandex_metrika_callbacks");
</script>
<noscript><div><img src="https://mc.yandex.ru/watch/0000000" style="position:absolute; left:-9999px;" alt="" /></div></noscript>
<!-- /Yandex.Metrika counter -->
4) p.s
according to
https://tech.yandex.ru/jslibs/ , domain of javascript libs cdn is now is yastatic.net
example
https://yastatic.net/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js
(but old one also works and used)
https://yandex.st/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js
