Show HN: Epic levels of tracking from a website
I was looking into alternative mail clients for Windows and came across a site called AddictiveTips [0] and was immediately shown their cookie and spying declaration.
I use UBlock Origin and block all third party cookies and empty my browser when it's closed and I thought I had seen it all with newspapers taking the piss with their trackers but these people are showing an extreme level of contempt for visitors.
If I am to interpret them correctly, they want to save hundreds of cookies on my computer and pass my data to potentially dozens and dozens of third parties, some of which (in fact a fair few) duplicate the efforts of others.
WTH?

- ChrisGranger 8y agoWow, that is truly ridiculous. I've been a long-time browser of that AddictiveTips, but with uBO and other tools removing the nasties, I'd never noticed just how much garbage that site is serving.
