- patrickaljord 16y agoSo amazon can track DDG users.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoThey can track that you came from duckduckgo yes. But that's it. They can't track what search terms you used, because that is what duckduckgo hides in the referrer. But only if the link is https so the referrer is passed at all.
- Matt_Cutts 16y agoI missed that until now--interesting. Is DDG an affiliate of any other websites?
