- cm2187 11y agoYou can. I can arrive on website with an http referrer that says I searched for "holidays in greece" on google. The website can do targetted ads and show me something about greece. What is not OK is that one hour earlier I was looking for details on a camera on a different website and to serve me an ad related to cameras. I don't mind the website I visit tracking me on their website and serving ads to me on thst basis. What I reject is cross-website tracking. In other words "first party tracking" is OK, "third party tracking" is not.

I am sure this has been on HN - no tsure where I first saw it. But this is a very interesting critique: http://idlewords.com/talks/what_happens_next_will_amaze_you.htm http://idlewords.com/talks/what_happens_next_will_amaze_you.... my thoughts on your point: https://gist.github.com/mbubb/dedfbf427848a8d8fd3b https://gist.github.com/mbubb/dedfbf427848a8d8fd3b
