Hello,
Omri at PerimeterX here (https://www.perimeterx.com/). A few weeks ago you included our product in your list (viewtopic.php?f=62&t=36740).

I would like to ask you to reconsider. User privacy is an utmost priority for us, and we do not track users or share information in any way with 3rd parties.

PerimeterX offers a cyber security service called Bot Defender, protecting websites from automated attacks. Many of the worlds largest sites are running it.
Part of the solution involves a javascript that is loaded with the site's pages, that collects information to help identify if the user is a human or not. This information includes browser fingerprinting, browser attributes, and additional information that can help determine if the user is human.

PerimeterX doesn't collect or store personal information, and isn't offering the collected data to 3rd party for tracking of any kind. You can see the privacy policy here: https://www.perimeterx.com/privacy.

Websites using PerimeterX need the javascript to run. Preventing the javascript from running may cause users to be blocked on the site, as they won't pass the human challenges.

The script is typically loaded from client.perimeterx.net, and can send data to different hosts of the form *.perimeterx.net.

Thanks,
Omri

Just a quick clarification: the domain in your list is perimeterx.net and the company domain (in the subject of the thread) is perimeterx.com

Hey,

I work in the Ops team for a site that uses the anti-scraping/anti-bot service perimiterx.
They're not a tracker in the normal sense of the word - they don't do ads, they're looking for malicious traffic.

This rule in the Easylist Privacy list causes users to be detected as bots after some period of time if they click through the site too fast or do other things that flag them as suspicious:

Code: Select all

||perimeterx.net^$third-party
If you could remove them from the list, that'd be great, and stop our adblocking users from getting captchas all the time.

Cheers.

Started blocking px.wayfair.com as part of the easyprivacy_specific.txt.
https://github.com/easylist/easylist/co ... c0b6b12024

This domain is used by the bot mitigation service Bot Defender by PerimeterX. Blocking it is causing users to get blocked as bots.
