Common mistakes

  • 1Leaving the carbon badge undisclosed because it sets no cookie - each uncached page view still sends the full page URL and the visitor's IP address to a third party
  • 2Loading the badge on pages whose URL carries personal data, which the lookup then sends to Website Carbon and may add to its public database
