no, that is not correct. Currently, for each request [1] to the text and mobile caches udp2log holds [2] the User-Agent (column 14), and URL (column 9). This data gets stored away into files (some parts sampled, some parts unsampled). I and some others have access to this data. Same for kafka and mobile caches. There it is always unsampled. You could do all kinds of bad™ things with those data sets, if you wanted. I do see that Ops might need that data. They should have it. But I hope that my access to this /raw/ data, and access of other fellow Analytics team members to this raw data get's killed in the foreseeable future, and that we effectively make it impossible to fingerprint/track people around. Best regards, Christian [1] Regardless of whether it is edit or non-edit. Regardless of the action. Regardless of the platform.
