Bug #: 34794
Summary: [ClickTracking] cookie persistence
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: [other]
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m8r-udf...@mailinator.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The "clicktracking-session" cookie on the en-wiki remains the same before
(anonymous), during (logged in), and after logout. This allows the tracking of
a user after logout until they have cleared their cookies. It also allows the
correlation of logins from "different" users in the same browser session.
The clicktracking-cookie should also be listed in privacy policy:

For how long is clicktracking data kept and what is its purpose (wikipedia
doesn't have advertising...so for whom are the analytics)?
