Original issue 1163 created by playez010 on 2013-11-27T12:37:57.000Z:

I disabled htev everywhere i find in foxtrick settings, but i get a raport that htev.org is still tracking me. I have installed "Self detructing cookis" extensions that erase my coookies after i close a page, and this still report to me that htev set a coookie or tracking mecanism.

It can't be disabled. We can probably remove that by now anyway. But to clarify i'll explain what's going on.

Until summer other chpp apps had no idea what server you are logged in so they had no way to directly link you to a certain hattrick page, even when you were already logged in. To allow htev and hattrick youthclub to do that we write the server into a cookie and they can read it when you are on their site and provide you with valid links.

The cookie is just containing one value, "htserver" with holds something like "www72", "www53", "stage" depending on where you were logged in last. That's the whole "tracking" if you will, they would know what hattrick server you last used, nothing else.

So nothing to worry about

But yes, we should probably have added a toggle for that in the first place.
