Sugar Market Web Tracking Field 'ip_privacy'

Hello,

I was recently reviewing the web tracking code for Sugar Market and noticed that one of the first fields is 'ip_privacy', specifically in the case of our web tracking script this line shows "ip_privacy: 0,"

Does anyone know what this field is? The name makes me think it may be leveraged to keep the page visitor's ip private, which is an option our exec team would love to have.

Cheers,
Ed

  • Hi Ed, 

    Due to regulations in various countries, privacy rules do not allow you to capture the full IP address. Some countries require you to remove the last octet of the IP address. For instance, if an IP address looks like 65.76.123.88, the privacy setting would return it as 65.76.123.xxx.

    Privacy Parameter
    ip_privacy: 0 - Privacy Disabled
    ip_privacy: 1 - Privacy Enabled

    Thanks,
