That Can't Be Dodged
Very interesting article, but the proclamation you can't avoid it seems a bit too far. When my browser exits it both deletes cookies and clears the cache, which looks like it's enough to break the tracks.
- chubot 15y agoI do that too, but I don't think it's enough. I use FlashBlock, which I think is enough, because they're apparently using flash cookies to recreate regular HTTP cookies (or something like that). Flash is a huge POS in so many ways.
- jacques_chester 15y agoThere's a whole bunch of places to stash unique identifiers. And you only need to overlook one of them, because they will repopulate all of them the next time you hit a KM-using site. HTTP cookies, flash cookies, ETags, HTML5 databases ... it just goes on and on.
- Tobu 15y agoFlashblock isn't enough. The Firefox implementation lets the flash load, then hides it immediately.
