Trading your browsing data - Privacy be damned
- retube 16y agoI have to say that user tracking across sites seems to work flawlessly. I now see the same targeted ads all the time, clearly related to stuff I've been researching. It's actually quite spooky. Does it matter? I don't know. But there's an easy solution - delete your cookies! (and those Flash super-cookies)
- aj 16y agoI agree. However, that puts the onus on the user. If there was some way for seamless opt out across the Internet, it would be a lot more easier. Additionally, a LOT of users (I'd say 70%+ - I'm making up a number here) don't know or realise the implications or depth of tracking, the technology behind and most importantly how to protect themselves.
- retube 16y agoYes you'd have to persuade the browser developers to turn off third party cookies by default. But I'm guessing that would break a lot of sites.
