Oh yeah, I wouldn't think pidgin would, but I still don't see a privacy policy on the page that states that. That's all I am saying.
The only reason I can think of for that condition is that by using the Google API Google is obtaining data about, as a minimum, the referring URL and the IP address. They need the privacy policy to say that accessing the page will give that information to Google.
Incidentally, for UK based pages, I think that a privacy policy has been needed for commercial sites that use cookies (maybe excepting session cookies) and UK business sites now need more explicit user permission to set cookies. I haven't checked Pidgin.im, but most web sites set far more cookies than they need, even if they need click trailing (I regularly block all cookies, and find that, if I don't make the block permanent, I often have to block half a dozen before a page displays!)

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
