Put perfectly. Had I not been on mobile…I would have written it just as lazily as I did.

Thanks for taking the time.

I’m going to educate you on what this is actually about.

You think it’s about tracking someone as they go about the web.

The article is about BLUE SKY tracking the links you click on their site. Two totally different things.

The destination logs the IP. The source doesn’t see the click, because it happens in your client, not in their site.

Source: managed tens of thousands of sites and hundreds of thousands of servers for over 25 years.

No.

You can see a link was loaded in the page. Link tracking is still needed to know if the link was clicked.

It can be an “on click” JavaScript event, or a redirect to a tracking site.
