Description Smallman 2012-02-29 13:59:50 UTC 
The "clicktracking-session" cookie on the en-wiki remains the same before (anonymous), during (logged in), and after logout. This allows the tracking of a user after logout until they have cleared their cookies. It also allows the correlation of logins from "different" users in the same browser session. 

The clicktracking-cookie should also be listed in privacy policy:

For how long is clicktracking data kept and what is its purpose (wikipedia doesn't have advertising...so for whom are the analytics)?

Diederik, could you look into this one?
Comment 3 Smallman 2012-08-21 19:23:19 UTC 
Any progress? It's not hard to fix...just delete the cookie on logout along with the other cookies.
Comment 4 Ori Livneh 2012-08-27 09:26:31 UTC 
Fixed in Gerrit change #21554.
