Will adjusting your browser to not accept third party cookies help?
Some browsers have a setting for asking website not to track, not sure if any websites will obey this. Nowadays it amazes me what people post, when they should know it is much more tractable/traceable than just a few years ago. If you do not want other folks or the government to see it, better not post it nowadays... . . |

Thanks for the reply. They are not cookies. Your mouse clicks are inventoried and sold as "trends" to advertisers. For example you click on something in this web site and that one mouse click will go out to 40 different web sites.
So that's why it takes 40 times longer to navigate your way around the site. Its a free site and I am not complaining, its a way for the web site to make money by selling what you do on this web site. I can tell you how to block it but if I tell you then most everyone who cares about their privacy will want to block it and it might jeopardize what they are trying to accomplish here. Its a tough call. I have been on other very big web sites that use only 4 or 5 web trackers and it works just fine but if I were to show you how many trackers are spying on you .... you would be amazed. 40 web trackers is just insane. At least lighten the load a bit. Its total surveillance. BTW again this is not a bitch rant. Just trying to help with input. |
