Which collects data on you and creates a profile. Whether it's currently used to increment an impression counter doesn't mean it can't be used for something more nefarious down the line.
- charcircuit 5y agoCollecting data about what you did is not necessarily spying. If a game keeps tracks of my wins. That's not spying even though it's collecting data on what I did.
- Nextgrid 5y agoMy point is that it's collecting way more data than the single bit it needs in order to tell "yes this ad has been seen, increment the counter".
- charcircuit 5y agoIt's not just about telling if an ad has been seen, but what a user does on your site after clicking on the ad. Do they immediately bounce? Do they buy something? You want to be able to see that you are actually getting a positive return from the money you are spending on ads.
