Hi,
I am the owner and creator of the web analytics tool redistats.com

EasyPrivacy contains this:

Code: Select all

||redistats.com^$third-party

And while Redistats respects privacy (we don't use cookies for tracking or collect any IP numbers) I agree that all kind of tracking scripts should be blocked by a list such as EasyPrivacy, that is fine.

The problem is that also the iframes of the web stats are being blocked for the site owners.

For example this is a URL of a dashboard view:

Code: Select all

https://redistats.com/stats?gid=2&pid=12&hash=7ee21a2f90a50e738a4ae20f6d9fc399

And that URL is loaded in an iframe on another domain such as when using our WordPress plugin or in the website builder n.nu (20 000 sites).

I solved it for me personally using this in My filters in uBlock Origins:

Code: Select all

! Allow Redistats stats iframes to be loaded
@@||redistats.com/stats$subdocument

But I regularly get emails from users of N.nu that the web stats are not loading, causing frustrations. Can the above line also be added to EasyPrivacy?

Please also note that I launched Redistats in 2013 and I always kept the same URLs and never tried to circumvent any blockings.

Thanks a lot and I really appreciate the work being done on these lists.

Yes, but as I tried to explain it does not load if it is loaded in an iframe on a third party domain. And this dashboard is always loaded in an iframe using our WordPress plugin or in the website builder n.nu (20 000 sites) causing problems for lots of users.

So what I am requesting is an exception to the /stats part so that site owners can see the dashboard again.
Or specifying that the block is only for this part and not the whole domain:

Code: Select all

https://redistats.com/track.js*

Thanks in advance.

We're good, just disable adblock on other sites.
