What WAY more information do they get?
They know that I use the site and (to some extend) when.
I am under the (possibly false) poison that the risk is to let the requesting site (HN here) request to much data from, say, Google (my age, shoe size and whatever they store about me)
- zie 9y agoThey get that you use site X (and y,z, and q too) , when you use those sites, and where you were when you logged in from(i.e. your IP, browser info, etc). For one site, not a huge issue maybe, unless it's ilovemesome<insert something disgusting here>.com But add this up across many, many sites, and they suddenly get loads and loads more information to sell ads to you with.
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoYes, this is true - but at least in the case of Google this is peripheral compared to what they have though my browsing (search, email, etc.).
