> Add Snow to Your Website

Sadly, I immediately translate this to "add trackers to your website", whether it is true or not.

I don't know why you were downvoted, they literally state in their terms of service they will do this:

""" Apps installed with Eager may, for example:

Add cookies to your domain to track visitors. """

Just to clarify, Snow and Snow Pro don't to anything of the kind. You can view the source here:

https://github.com/EagerApps/Snow https://github.com/EagerApps/SnowPro

They don't do anything of the kind right now but the terms and conditions permit you to change that at any moment you wish to.

If you don't want to do this and will not do this then make it plain in your terms and conditions.

The reason that is in the terms and conditions is because Eager exists to allow people to install all sorts of third-party SaaS tools. If you install the Google Analytics app, they are going to track you, that is what we're trying to convey. Every app Eager has built is open-source, and is going to remain that way.

The nice thing about delivering software directly to the client as we do is you can examine the exact code which gets sent, and confirm that it is what you expect.
