GitHub no cookie for you source code

about people’s behavior across the web, store it in their databases, and then use it to serve personalized ads. At GitHub, we want to protect developer privacy, and we find cookie banners quite irritating, so we decided to look for a solution. After a brief search, we found one: just don’t use any non-essential cookies. Pretty simple, really. 🤔 So, we have removed all non-essential cookies from GitHub, and visiting our website does not send any information to third-party analytics services. (And of course GitHub still does not use any cookies to display ads, or track you across other sites.) We are also committing that going forward, we will only use cookies that are required for us to serve GitHub.com. GitHub has had a long history of prioritizing developer privacy, often going above and beyond any legal requirement, including extending EU privacy protections to all users regardless of location. Developers should not have to sacrifice their privacy to collaborate on GitHub. That’s all. Have a nice day! © 2020 GitHub, Inc.

На скриншоте показана статья GitHub о том, что сайт якобы отказался от необязательных cookie и аналитики ради приватности разработчиков. В нижней части открыт исходный код страницы, где видны скрипты статистики и отслеживания — это разоблачает противоречие и создаёт саркастический эффект. Мем используют как реакцию на лицемерные заявления о конфиденциальности. EN: The screenshot shows a GitHub article claiming that the site removed non-essential cookies and analytics to protect developer privacy. The source code is open at the bottom, revealing statistics and tracking scripts, which exposes the contradiction and creates the sarcastic punchline. The meme is used as a reaction to hypocritical privacy claims.
