hi mirjam, thanks for the clue bat.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
no extra charge :)
The doubleclick.net JavaScript comes from an embedded YouTube video on the ripe.net homepage.
oooooo. thanks for the warning about embedding youtube (he says as if he was ever going to develop a gl!tzich web site).
This was an oversight on our part, as we hadn't properly considered that these videos would allow third-party JavaScript to be injected. We will conduct an audit of the website to find the best approach for hosting videos.
if you develop a generalized auditing tool, it might be useful to others.
We use Google Tag Manager to improve the browsing experience on ripe.net.
i decided to spend five minutes trying to learn what google tag manager actually was. though i have not actually measured, i suspct it would need at least an hour to get below the marketing fluff. sheesh! but this list is probably not the place to try to educate an old geek on web tools. thanks again for looking into this. randy
