Remove Google Analytics from the Druid Website

[niallkp]

Hi Druid Team

The ASF Privacy Policy[1][2] does not permit the use of Google Analytics on any ASF websites and the ASF Infra team will soon enforce a Content Security Policy(CSP) that will block access to external trackers:

• https://lists.apache.org/thread/w34sd92v4rz3j28hyddmt5tbprbdq6lc

Please could you remove the use of the Google Analytics from the Druid website? I would have submitted a PR but cloning Druid locally fails on windoze - but it looks like docusaurus.config.js needs to be modified to remove the gtag trackingID

• https://lists.apache.org/thread/v2xwvysmcq62wrsgthto2fgp413m6f7f

The ASF hosts its own Matomo instance to provide projects with analytics and you can request a tracking id for your project by sending a mail to privacy AT apache.org.

Additionally I would recommend reviewing any external resources loaded by your website. The Content Security Policy will prevent any resources being loaded from 3rd Party providers that the ASF does not have a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with. On the 1st February Infra will begin a temporary "brownout" when the CSP will be turned on for a short period. This will allow projects to check which parts, if any, of their websites will stop working. The Privacy FAQ answers a number of questions about which external providers are permitted or not:

Thanks

Hi @akulabs8, thanks for volunteering to take this on.

There seems to be a few changes needed:

• When making updates to docusaurus.config.js, it needs to be done in both this repo and https://github.com/apache/druid-website-src`. That is the repo actually used to build the site for deployment.

  • For example, you need to remove the gtag config from the docusaurus config in both places

• In druid-website-src, the published_versions directory has all the built HTML files. We can likely just find/replace in bulk to remove the google analytics code

More tricky is replacing the font awesome and clipboard.min.js external scripts and updating those and the CSS.

So, find/replace to fix existing docs and update docusaurus.config.js so that future builds are correct.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey @317brian , based on what I understood, I have created a first version of 2 PRs , one for each repo

#17661

I didn't understand this part though.
