Adobe Edge Fonts web beacon


I tried Adobe Edge Web Font on my website and I discovered that they use a 1x1 beacon called p.gif. What's the purpose of this web beacon?


A solution is to write "img-src 'self' data:" into the Header CSP. data: is for Safari that doesn't show audio controls otherwise.


Solution

  • It's a means of tracking your users. You can block it by using a CSP rule that doesn't include their domain for images. Use report-uri.com to help you configure an appropriate CSP header.
