Found: /privacy page states: "This site does not use Google Analytics or other tracking scripts" and "No cookies are set by this site."

However, the site is registered in Umami analytics (deployed on n97 at os.scoble.me/umami/), and Umami tracking scripts are likely deployed on scott.scoble.me.

Gap: The privacy policy is technically inaccurate. Umami is privacy-focused (no cookies, first-party hosted) which is great — but it must be disclosed.

Needs:

  • Update privacy policy to mention Umami analytics
  • Clarify: first-party hosted, no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no personal data shared
  • Add Umami opt-out info (though Umami uses no cookies, transparency matters)
  • Verify: are cookies actually used? Check for any session or preference cookies
