Comment on Phone home tracking image in DocuSeal, and how to remove it
neko@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoLoading external images will reveal to the site where it’s loaded from at least these things:
- User’s IP
- Useragent string
- Referrer
Also it can set third-party cookies which can be used to track specific user.
I don’t know if this project processes any of that data, but outside images can be used for tracking purposes.
At least it would be a good idea will be to limit some of this things for that img tag by setting some attributes that prevent referrer and cookies from being sent.

AGAIN.
This is not “phoning home” as claimed. It is not a SECURITY RISK as claimed. It is a privacy want/complaint/nag at the very VERY least. THIS IS ALSO NOT A PRIVACY FOCUSED PROJECT.
Y’all need to get better hobbies, seriously.
