Hello
Adobe Analytics (Sitecatalyst, Omniture, or whatever it is called) is not blocked by EasyPrivacy. A couple of sites that use it are kao.com and dpdhl.com. It should be detectable using the technique here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22205323/is-there-a-method-within-omnitures-s-code-to-see-whether-a-pageview-has-fired .
Can it be added to EasyPrivacy?
Adobe Analytics
Have you checked ABP AA: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=26102 ?

Thanks Lanik. Yes I checked that thread, and the setting is not checked and the Stackoverflow technique to detect Adobe Analytics says the analytics loaded correctly. This is when I asked my question.
I don't see any ads with Chrome and uBO. What adblocker and browser are you using?

I am asking about analytics, not ads. EasyPrivacy includes blocks for many third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics. My question is why does it not include Adobe. It should.
Looking at all the requests that page makes I don't see any that scream out Adobe Analytics to me. Can you provide some examples of requests that site is making?

Hello
Looking at this again, I see many sites with Adobe analytics not blocked. Examples:
1.
2.
Find many more using this source code search:
The patterns are simple, and I would like to propose the following blocking rules to EasyPrivacy:
- A URL containing "/b/ss". This is the tracking pixel request, and all requests include it even those using CNAME DNS entries to map to omniture's servers (try `ping metrics.el-mundo.net` on the command line).
- When *.2o7.net is loaded as a third party. It seems a more specific block is *112.2o7.net, but I cannot find anything else on the domain. Visiting
- When *.omtrdc.net is loaded as a third party.

http://www.elmundo.es/ tracking server is metrics.el-mundo.net or smetrics.el-mundo.net depending if it's loaded over HTTP or HTTPS.2.

http://112.2o7.net/ tells you it is omniture.- When *.omtrdc.net is loaded as a third party.
