Remove Google Analytics from Dubbo Website

[niallkp]

Hi Dubbo Team

The ASF Privacy Policy[1][2] does not permit the use of Google or Baidu Analytics on any ASF websites and the ASF Infra team will soon enforce a Content Security Policy(CSP) that will block access to external trackers:

• https://lists.apache.org/thread/w34sd92v4rz3j28hyddmt5tbprbdq6lc

Please could you remove the use of the Google Analytics from the Dubbo website (I will submit a PR request shortly to do that)?

• https://lists.apache.org/thread/83gxzqhh19zb9p09lx49hk0ksc9qnf2j

The ASF hosts its own Matomo instance to provide projects with analytics. It appears that Dubbo already has a Matomo Tracking ID, although I don't see any request for that to privacy AT apache.org.

<!-- Matomo -->
<script>
  var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || [];
  /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */
  _paq.push(["setDoNotTrack", true]);
  _paq.push(["disableCookies"]);
  _paq.push(['trackPageView']);
  _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
  (function() {
    var u="https://analytics.apache.org/";
    _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'matomo.php']);
    _paq.push(['setSiteId', '24']);
    var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    g.async=true; g.src=u+'matomo.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
  })();
</script>
<!-- End Matomo Code -->

Additionally I would recommend reviewing any external resources loaded by your website. The Content Security Policy will prevent any resources being loaded from 3rd Party providers that the ASF does not have a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with. On the 1st February Infra will begin a temporary "brownout" when the CSP will be turned on for a short period. This will allow projects to check which parts, if any, of their websites will stop working. The Privacy FAQ answers a number of questions about which external providers are permitted or not:

Thank you for applying the PR - much appreciated. However, when I scan the asf-site-v2 branch in the dubbo-website repository for Google Analytics I get the following results:

Searching for: googletagmanager.com, Found 701 occurrence(s) in 701 file(s)
Searching for: google-analytics.com, Found 1728 occurrence(s) in 1728 file(s)

It looks like you're website has been re-organized at least a couple of times and there are old files which are no longer being re-generated. For example, the following folders (which contain 3390 files and 1667 of them contain "google-analytics.com")

• blog
• cn
• community
• docs
• docs3-v2
• dubbo-go
• en-cn
• en-us
• overview
• zh

I will provide a PR which deletes the files that contain Google Analytics , but looks like there are alot more old file (around 6000+)

I wonder if it is possible to remove Google Analytics only. These files may impact Search SEO.

@AlbumenJ I have created a PR #3100 that removes Google Analytics from those old pages
