- skinkestek 6y ago> Proxying does not allow a 3rd party to track beyond the customer domain boundary. I'm fairly sure one of us misunderstand. I'm usure if I misread you post or if you think there is a technical limitation to prevent a tracking company from reading cookies from proxied data? If so, do you care to explain?
- apexalpha 6y agoI would think the idea is that cookies set on a.com cannot be read by b.com. Even if they both proxy cookies from the same advertising network.
- skinkestek 6y agoI see. I was talking about the fact that the cookies are visible to the ad/tracking company. In my opinion (and I think this is common) ad/tracking companies are third parties and when a company proxy data to one of them it is then by definition residing with a third party ev3n if they don't share it with their other customers.
- iso947 6y agoAn advertising company knows I travelled to wikivoyage and spent lots of time reading about Thailand. They then know that I (same cookie) visited cnn and read about Ebola They then know I visited a cycle magazine and read about a new bike. With proxying they wouldn’t be able to link those three visits together (with cookie data) When I visit a fourth site, it’s a brand new visit - there is no way for the advertising. Company to know I’m the same version who visited the previous sites.
