No it's not fair because what they report as egregious is not the tracking themselves but the context! Council websites are public services. And it says in the report "citizens are entitled to expect that public services do not allow private companies to surveil them on their websites.".

Other than that, you are right that it's hard to find what's wrong with that Lambeth website. However the GTM could be a gateway to any kind of data tracking (visited pages, button clicked, etc.) idk if you can actually find out from the console.

Your comment was making sense until you started comparing a council website with a marketing product (Brave.com).

I wish they were explaining why they moved away from Mapbox and OSM in general!

They did an ICO. Just like every companies with written "decentralized" in the baseline.

Great! Mailchimp had it on their website but they removed it (dunno why). I like the way the menu doesn't show if you scroll up slowly(!)
