I have embedded a link into the title where a person is frustrated with Cloudflare.

I’m interested in knowing the extent of their telemetry and data collection. The user alleges that Cloudflare collects cookies from visitors when one visits a website using their proxy + CDN?

Just to be transparent: I’m not looking to use Cloudflare, I’m going to use my own setup with a VPS, however it is important to know about such technologies, especially since I work in IT.

    Not the point though. I don’t care about his motivations, only the fact that brought up: how much do their telemetry practices extend? How do they track even our cookies?

      On normal proxy they shouldn’t be able, on protected pages they can get the one previously set for the interstitial page for DDoS or login protection (nobody would like to enter a CAPTCHA on every single load)
