[Cin] To be able to register to forum, cookie domains to allow?

This may work on Github, but I suspect the problem is here. Please try 
it with Https and www. It shouldn't take much work to add these two 
little additions.

I'm not a friend of Google's data collection urge either. Unfortunately 
as a relatively small team we are dependent on some services, because 
they are free of charge and using other paid services would take too 
many resources from us at the moment, which we would like to use for the 
development of Cinelerra. We only use Google's Analytics to improve 
website performance. We do not use the data for commercial purposes, but 
only to detect and fix bugs on the website. However, we aim to get away 
from such services in the medium term, when we have more volunteers, and 
to replace them step by step with open source alternatives.

But you are welcome to block Google Analytics.  This should not affect 
your login to the forum. As I said we only use it to fix website bugs. 
We also don't mind if you use disposable email addresses for 
registration.  Then you have even more data security if you wish. We are 
a bunch of volunteers who offer these services just for the fun and 
pleasure of Cinelerra.
Maybe that works with Github, but we are not Github and only a small 
team, which didn't consider all eventualities with the domains in the 
Apache server. I guess the problem is here. But the domain is definitely 
not right. Why not try https and www? I can only recommend you to try 
this variant, if it doesn't work, we have to look for other sources of 
error.

I'm not a friend of Google's data collection urge either. Unfortunately, 
as a relatively small team we are dependent on some services, because 
they are free of charge and to use other paid services is currently out 
of the question for us, because we do everything on a voluntary basis 
and do not charge any money for it. We only use Google's Analytics to 
improve website performance and CleanTalk for spam protection. We do not 
use the data for commercial purposes, but only to detect and correct 
errors on the website.  In the medium term, however, we aim to get away 
from such services if we have more volunteers and resources, and 
gradually replace them with OpenSources alternatives and also provide 
more anonymity and data security for the users.

But you are welcome to block Google Analytics.  This should not affect 
your login to the forum. We also don't mind if you use disposable email 
addresses for registration.  Then you have even more data security if 
you wish. We are also working to ensure that our website is also 
accessible via the Tor network, so that users who want anonymity on the 
net can also get access to the website. However, the changes are still 
ongoing.
