From 637c2d9d98715643169e7a02546f7169d30f09c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xetorixik Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2018 20:52:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update cws.conviva.com tracking method As shown at https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/pull/587 cws.conviva.com is already present. The problem is that the conviva.com tracking method has changed so the blacklist should be changed. Previously, cws.conviva.com tracked non-generic by cws.conviva.com. This has changed to unique, specific via be43a77aab46b0546578grgrtgr3d4ba6506d488.cws.conviva.com (example). Various programs like Ad-blockers have the possibility to use wildcards. In order to keep it so generally working, it seems wise to block the entire domain. I tested it with Horizon (local TV service provider), and even though I opted for opt-out of analitics viewing data, it is still being tracked. Therefore this one should be added immediately. --- data/StevenBlack/hosts | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/data/StevenBlack/hosts b/data/StevenBlack/hosts index 025219f28..d2f08c9e8 100644 --- a/data/StevenBlack/hosts +++ b/data/StevenBlack/hosts @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ 127.0.0.1 ceromobi.club 127.0.0.1 com-notice.info 127.0.0.1 cws.conviva.com +#*.cws.conviva.com 127.0.0.1 www.com-notice.info 127.0.0.1 apple.com-notice.info 127.0.0.1 www.apple.com-notice.info From dc75f6deb9eb2a846579350064ec6e9b38b4092d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: xetorixik Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2018 03:46:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Update commit Update commit as discussed here https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/pull/680#issuecomment-399800313 and advised there: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/pull/680#pullrequestreview-131409108 --- data/StevenBlack/hosts | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/data/StevenBlack/hosts b/data/StevenBlack/hosts index d2f08c9e8..74a5660a7 100644 --- a/data/StevenBlack/hosts +++ b/data/StevenBlack/hosts @@ -17,8 +17,6 @@ 127.0.0.1 consumerproductsusa.com 127.0.0.1 ceromobi.club 127.0.0.1 com-notice.info -127.0.0.1 cws.conviva.com -#*.cws.conviva.com 127.0.0.1 www.com-notice.info 127.0.0.1 apple.com-notice.info 127.0.0.1 www.apple.com-notice.info @@ -644,6 +642,8 @@ #*.angiemktg.com 127.0.0.1 weconfirmyou.com #*.weconfirmyou.com +127.0.0.1 cws.conviva.com +#*.cws.conviva.com # These stink-up yahoo finance 0.0.0.0 beap-bc.yahoo.com
