2031308 - Collect country information for some eTLD+1 pageload events

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Performance Engineering, enhancement)

Description

[Bas Schouten (:bas.schouten)]

WebCompat would like country information for a limited number of countries in the eTLD+1 pageload event. This should be okay as long as we only do it on Release and for countries with plenty of users.

The following countries were requested:

• United States
• Germany
• France
• United Kingdom
• Canada
• Poland
• Japan
• India
• Brazil
• Indonesia
• Mexico
• Italy
• Spain
• Netherlands

All of these should have plenty of users on release for there to be no real fingerprinting risk (with the other mitigations we have in place) as far as I can tell.

This adds country data to our pageload events with domain information. Since this information can be highly fingerprintable for situations with few users in a country/channel combination, we only collect this on release, for users in specific countries where we know we have a good amount of users. This should bring the majority of the value with no risk of accidentally collecting user data.
