Hi , we have updated our code!

Our original JavaScript code now includes the following:

referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"

Why the change?

There is a new default Referrer-Policy for Chrome as of v85 (and likely other browsers in the future).

In order for us to correctly log the PAGE of the visit, you must add the referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" to the JavaScript code on your website.

Summary

• Browsers are evolving towards privacy-enhancing default referrer policies, to provide a good fallback when a website has no policy set.
• Chrome has enabled strict-origin-when-cross-origin as the default policy in 85; this may impact use cases relying on the referrer value from another origin.
• This is the new default, but websites can still pick a policy of their choice.

What does "no-referrer-when-downgrade" mean?

The origin, path and querystring of the URL ( https://origin.com/path.html?querystring=something ) are sent as a referrer when the protocol security level stays the same (HTTP?HTTP, HTTPS?HTTPS) or improves (HTTP?HTTPS), but isn''t sent to less secure destinations (HTTPS?HTTP).

Directives in question;

"origin-when-cross-origin"

EXAMPLE
If https://your-website.com/page.html sets a policy of "origin-when-cross-origin", it would send a Referrer Header with a value of https://your-website.com/, and not https://your-website.com/page.html This means our code would still work but we will not log the correct page the visit happened on for your website.

"no-referrer-when-downgrade"
EXAMPLE
If a document at https://your-website.com/page.html sets a policy of "no-referrer-when-downgrade", it would send a Referrer Header with a value of https://your-website.com/page.html, thus we will log the correct page the visit happened on for your website.

What do you need to do?
Simply add referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" to your exiting code, or replace the entire code with the code found at the bottom of the IP Editor page, then publish the changes to your website.
