The purpose of website generators is to render content into HTML files. Most are "dynamic site generators." That means the HTTP server---i.e., the program that sends files to the browser to be viewed---runs the generator to create a new HTML file every time an end user requests a page.
|
||||
|
||||
Over time, dynamic site generators were programmed to cache their HTML files to prevent unnecessary delays in delivering pages to end users. A cached page is a static version of a web page.
|
||||
|
||||
Hugo takes caching a step further and all HTML files are rendered on your computer. You can review the files locally before copying them to the computer hosting the HTTP server. Since the HTML files aren't generated dynamically, we say that Hugo is a *static site generator*.
|
||||
|
||||
This has many benefits. The most noticeable is performance. HTTP servers are *very* good at sending files---so good, in fact, that you can effectively serve the same number of pages with a fraction of the memory and CPU needed for a dynamic site.

General Data Protection Regulation ([GDPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation)) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and the European Economic Area. It became enforceable on 25 May 2018.
|
||||
|
||||
**Hugo is a static site generator. By using Hugo you are already standing on very solid ground. Static HTML files on disk are much easier to reason about compared to server and database driven web sites.**
|
||||
|
||||
But even static websites can integrate with external services, so from version `0.41`, Hugo provides a **Privacy Config** that covers the relevant built-in templates.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that:
|
||||
|
||||
* These settings have their defaults setting set to _off_, i.e. how it worked before Hugo `0.41`. You must do your own evaluation of your site and apply the appropriate settings.
|
||||
* These settings work with the [internal templates](/templates/internal/). Some theme may contain custom templates for embedding services like Google Analytics. In that case these options have no effect.
|
||||
* We will continue this work and improve this further in future Hugo versions.
|
||||
|
||||
## All Privacy Settings
|
||||
|
||||
Below are all privacy settings and their default value. These settings need to be put in your site config (e.g. `config.toml`).
|
||||
|
||||
{{< code-toggle file="config">}}
|
||||
[privacy]
|
||||
[privacy.disqus]
|
||||
disable = false
|
||||
[privacy.googleAnalytics]
|
||||
disable = false
|
||||
respectDoNotTrack = false
|
||||
anonymizeIP = false
|
||||
useSessionStorage = false
|
||||
[privacy.instagram]
|
||||
disable = false
|
||||
simple = false
|
||||
[privacy.twitter]
|
||||
disable = false
|
||||
enableDNT = false
|
||||
simple = false
|
||||
[privacy.vimeo]
|
||||
disable = false
|
||||
simple = false
|
||||
[privacy.youtube]
|
||||
disable = false
|
||||
privacyEnhanced = false
|
||||
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Disable All Services
|
||||
|
||||
An example Privacy Config that disables all the relevant services in Hugo. With this configuration, the other settings will not matter.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< code-toggle file="config">}}
|
||||
[privacy]
|
||||
[privacy.disqus]
|
||||
disable = true
|
||||
[privacy.googleAnalytics]
|
||||
disable = true
|
||||
[privacy.instagram]
|
||||
disable = true
|
||||
[privacy.twitter]
|
||||
disable = true
|
||||
[privacy.vimeo]
|
||||
disable = true
|
||||
[privacy.youtube]
|
||||
disable = true
|
||||
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
||||
|
||||
## The Privacy Settings Explained
|
||||
|
||||
### GoogleAnalytics
|
||||
|
||||
anonymizeIP
|
||||
: Enabling this will make it so the users' IP addresses are anonymized within Google Analytics.
|
||||
|
||||
respectDoNotTrack
|
||||
: Enabling this will make the GA templates respect the "Do Not Track" HTTP header.
|
||||
|
||||
useSessionStorage
|
||||
: Enabling this will disable the use of Cookies and use Session Storage to Store the GA Client ID.
|
||||
|
||||
### Instagram
|
||||
|
||||
simple
|
||||
: If simple mode is enabled, a static and no-JS version of the Instagram image card will be built. Note that this only supports image cards and the image itself will be fetched from Instagram's servers.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** If you use the _simple mode_ for Instagram and a site styled with Bootstrap 4, you may want to disable the inlines styles provided by Hugo:
|
||||
|
||||
{{< code-toggle file="config">}}
|
||||
[services]
|
||||
[services.instagram]
|
||||
disableInlineCSS = true
|
||||
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
||||
|
||||
### Twitter
|
||||
|
||||
enableDNT
|
||||
: Enabling this for the twitter/tweet shortcode, the tweet and its embedded page on your site are not used for purposes that include personalized suggestions and personalized ads.
|
||||
|
||||
simple
|
||||
: If simple mode is enabled, a static and no-JS version of a tweet will be built.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** If you use the _simple mode_ for Twitter, you may want to disable the inlines styles provided by Hugo:
|
||||
|
||||
{{< code-toggle file="config">}}
|
||||
[services]
|
||||
[services.twitter]
|
||||
disableInlineCSS = true
|
||||
{{< /code-toggle >}}
|
||||
|
||||
### YouTube
|
||||
|
||||
privacyEnhanced
|
||||
: When you turn on privacy-enhanced mode, YouTube won’t store information about visitors on your website unless the user plays the embedded video.
|
||||
|
||||
### Vimeo
|
||||
|
||||
simple
|
||||
: If simple mode is enabled, the video thumbnail is fetched from Vimeo's servers and it is overlayed with a play button. If the user clicks to play the video, it will open in a new tab directly on Vimeo's website.

|
||||
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a

|
||||
for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
|

## 4. Redistribution
|
||||
|

|
||||
Derivative Works; and
|
||||
* **(d)** If the Work includes a “NOTICE” text file as part of its distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed as modifying the License.

||||
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the conditions stated in this License.

|
||||
|
||||
Hugo is a general-purpose website framework. Technically speaking, Hugo is a [static site generator][]. Unlike systems that dynamically build a page with each visitor request, Hugo builds pages when you create or update your content. Since websites are viewed far more often than they are edited, Hugo is designed to provide an optimal viewing experience for your website's end users and an ideal writing experience for website authors.
|
||||
|
||||
Websites built with Hugo are extremely fast and secure. Hugo sites can be hosted anywhere, including [Netlify][], [Heroku][], [GoDaddy][], [DreamHost][], [GitHub Pages][], [GitLab Pages][], [Surge][], [Aerobatic][], [Firebase][], [Google Cloud Storage][], [Amazon S3][], [Rackspace][], [Azure][], and [CloudFront][] and work well with CDNs. Hugo sites run without the need for a database or dependencies on expensive runtimes like Ruby, Python, or PHP.
|
||||
|
||||
We think of Hugo as the ideal website creation tool with nearly instant build times, able to rebuild whenever a change is made.

|
||||
## What Does Hugo Do?
|
||||
|
||||
In technical terms, Hugo takes a source directory of files and templates and uses these as input to create a complete website.
|
||||
|
||||
## Who Should Use Hugo?
|
||||
|
||||
Hugo is for people that prefer writing in a text editor over a browser.
|
||||
|
||||
Hugo is for people who want to hand code their own website without worrying about setting up complicated runtimes, dependencies and databases.
|
||||
|
||||
Hugo is for people building a blog, a company site, a portfolio site, documentation, a single landing page, or a website with thousands of pages.
