What happens if I use Linux while browsing at home and Windows while browsing at work? How does your company handle this? I can see a couple different scenarios and am curious which is closest to practice.
1) Track data while at work. Display only at work.
2) Track data while at work. Display at home and work.
3) Track data at home and work. Display at work
4) Don't track data at all.
Of course there's a few cases I missed but from what you said I don't see the reason they'd track me at home and display at work or any other various combinations excluded.
- aslewofmice 14y agoDo you work from home using the same IP? If I understand your question correctly, the answer would be 1. In most cases, they're doing cookie based tracking and you wouldn't have any crossover unless it was site specific retargetting and you've logged into an account on both platforms. If there's any crossover, its because you have the same browsing behaviors on both platforms.
- xcallmejudasx 14y agoNo I don't use the same IP. I do however brows Hacker News, Facebook, Reddit, etc from both work and home. Interesting, thank you for the information.
