Is it gauche of me to point out that OP's site itself uses at least five trackers, along with obvious UTM tagging in the URL?
Does anyone know if uBlock Origin's default "EasyPrivacy" filter blocks tracking scripts like this? Or is a separate tool like Ghostery actually necessary if I want to stop the trackers from loading?
You can select to use the hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers list, which blocks loading assets from the IPs in this list:
http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt
This is essentially the same as what Ghostery does, without the option to send that information back to Ghostery.
