I like it. But not 100% EU. Status page sends data to Google, Doubleclick, etc (1)

"In Brief: statichost.eu does not collect or share any personal information or data. " (2)

Every page contains a hidden 1px pixel img that collects 15+ parameters: https://queue.simpleanalyticscdn.com/simple.gif?version=cdn_......

1. https://status.statichost.eu

2. https://www.statichost.eu/privacy/

That pixel seems to just gather standard data one might want to optimise the site display. I think display port size or http/s choice is hardly personal data.

Yes such info can be used to track people, but only if you have the database and means to - which a single small provider certainly doesn't. So unless you think this data is being sold for profiling I don't think that their claim is false.

  • Perhaps I read it wrong, but to me this means "does not collect ... data". In fact, the site uses a third-party service, which obviously sends the IP address.

    Finally, the `id` and `unique` string parameters look like something specifically designed to track people.
