Remove references to Google & Baidu Analytics from Seata Website

[niallkp]

Hi Seata Team!

We can see that you migrated to Matomo for analytics in March 2024 - thanks for doing that! However the Seata Website still seems to have references to Google & Baidu Analytics which causes it to be flagged on a monthly report to the Privacy Committee.

Please could you remove all references to Google & Baidu Analytics from your website?

Thanks
Niall

@niallkp Thank you very much for your feedback and we will remove these references in the near future to ensure privacy compliance.

@niallkp I have removed the reference of Google & Baidu Analytics, could you please help me recheck and confirm it?

[niallkp]

It would make life easier if the analytics code was completely removed rather than just commenting it out. Scanning the asf-site branch produces the same hits as before - 257 files

Please see #938

@niallkp The above comment code submitted by PR is the first step to confirm whether it is valid, and then delete it if it is valid. Thank you very much for your submitted code, I have merged #938, CICD will regenerate the static page to asf-site branch and redeploy it. If you have time, please help recheck.

Thank you @slievrly, that helps identify whats left. It looks like you have a number of old pages which are no longer being updated/generated that still contain Ggogle & Baidu analytics. I suspect the pages probably should be removed, for example:

• docs/download/index.html --> download/seata-server/index.html
• https://seata.apache.org/docs/download/index.html
• https://seata.apache.org/download/seata-server/

Anyway, I will submit a PR to remove Ggogle & Baidu analytics from those files:

There are definitely some old pages that are no longer in use. Also, the Seata official website has changed its frontend framework, so the new static resources generated won't overwrite the old, unused files. A quick fix for this would be to just delete the asf-site branch and regenerate the static resources from scratch.

Thanks a lot for your code submission regarding this issue! I've merged it and triggered the GitHub action to generate the static resources again, ensuring that our overall process is on point.

All looks good to me now. Thank You @slievrly - much appreciated!

Thank you very much for your solution as well. It is the implementation of your solution that has made it possible for Seata to comply with ASF's privacy policy.
