Forum:Access to nocookie.net needed to view/edit Comments ??

Why is it necessary to enable access to a site called nocookie.net to view and edit Comments ?

This seems to be a recent change.


 * Lots of Wikia stuff is on nocookie.net, most importantly all the uploaded images.--PedroM (talk) 09:43, August 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * CSS and JavaScript as well, which is probably why comments need it. nocookie.net is just a cookieless domain to serve static content, there's no real reason to block it. - Tjcool007 (Wall) 09:57, August 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's running scripts from outside of the wikia.com domain, it should be blocked, along with all the other tracking/spying/advertising sites.
 * Not all external sites are inherently evil. Javascript libraries like jQuery are loaded from ajax.googleapis.net by many websites to exploit the caching, and Wikia does most of its noncontent hosting on nocookie.net. We're talking about a company that has a large global CDN&mdash;such cases should not be purged. TK-999 (talk) 18:56, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
