Yes, the only thing they need to track information is an IP number. If you use the internet, FB and Google know what you're doing.

- tunap 10y agoPlease, correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't NoScript w/ Goog & FB removed from the whitelist solve this problem? Granted, using Goog services unlogged-in(?) puts you in their cross-hairs, but the sea of analytics and adservers can be avoided using NS(better w/ adblocker & user-agent spoof)to profoundly reduce your signal on the line. IP's addy's are unique, but unless you specifically requested 'static', yours is changing w/ varying frequency, as well.
- JupiterMoon 10y agoUnless you are using tor or something similar you are still giving your IP address out.
- waterphone 10y agoYes, but if you're blocking your browser from making connections to Google and Facebook-connected servers when on other websites, you're not giving it out to Google and Facebook.
- JupiterMoon 10y agoOh don't get me wrong I use noscript etc. I just recognise that they don't give me privacy - they give me better security though.
- tunap 10y agoAdded security is paramount. I also realize I cannot win the privacy war, but I will mitigate my losses as far as I can without spiting my needs or pissing off my unavoidable associates(insurance, gov, telco). For fun and guerilla tactics, I feed mis-information as often as possible.
