Question #1632: Why is there a Tracking Script on JoS Websites?

[AskSatanOperator]

I noticed this tracker script has just appeared on all the Joy of Satan pages:

Is this intentional? Why do you need need a user tracking script? Can't you get analytics from the server logs just fine without invading people's privacy with this spyware thing?

That's incorrect, Cloudflare is well known for their privacy policies and doesn't collect or use user data for advertisement purposes. So, it's not a "tracking" script. It is explained below:
