Their FAQ says otherwise: https://www.ghostery.com/faq#q16 https://www.ghostery.com/faq#q16
“When a user opts-in to GhostRank, Ghostery sends the following information each time a tracker is encountered:
the tracker identified by Ghostery
the blocking state of the tracker
domains identified as serving trackers
the time it takes for the tracker to load
the tracker’s position on the page
the browser in which Ghostery has been installed
Ghostery version information”
Nothing about the URL you visit. Do you have reason to believe they're lying?
- cpeterso 14y agoGhostery's Alert Bubble does not report any trackers on this Hacker News page, yet every time I reload this page, my HTTP monitor (Charles Proxy) logs a ping to ghostery.com: http://l.ghostery.com/api/page/?d=news.ycombinator.com%2Fitem&l=304&s=0&ua=firefox&rnd=7639974 http://l.ghostery.com/api/page/?d=news.ycombinator.com%2Fitem&l=426&s=0&ua=firefox&rnd=5747246 http://l.ghostery.com/api/page/?d=news.ycombinator.com%2Fitem&l=346&s=0&ua=firefox&rnd=8989043 Why does Evidon need to know about pages that have no trackers? The FAQ says the domains serving trackers will be identified, not the complete URL path (minus query string parameters) for pages that have no trackers.
