Here's something immediately useful for those who can't be arsed reading the whole article:
> People can remove their information from MasterCard's analysis by providing their card number on the "Data Analytics Opt-Out" page at www.mastercard.us/privacy.
There are three different opt-outs available (roughly "stop tracking my browser", "stop tracking my email", and "stop tracking my card"), and apart from a CAPTCHA, it's really very frictionless to opt-out.
Now time to read into how exactly they define "opting out" and what that entails to me and my data.
EDIT: apparently, they're serving those opt-out forms via Akamai, so I get a lovely "SSL Error" page in Chrome when I hard type the "https". Cute.

- pavel_lishin 15y agoI can't seem to be able to click the "opt out" button here: http://www.mastercard.us/privacy/web-analytics-opt-out.html http://www.mastercard.us/privacy/web-analytics-opt-out.html And the fact that the data analytics page doesn't default to HTTPS is a slap in the face. I wonder what they'd do if someone wrote a script to opt out every possible MasterCard number.
