This is ironic: The EFF's report about privacy protections offered by companies is published on a page with tracking beacons from websites with well-deserved terrible privacy reputations.

I'm using Ghostery and I'm not seeing any off-site tracking beacons on the eff.org page (they have a locally hosted PiWik analytics install but that's it).

If you look upthread, you can see these are probably false positives due to the image names of the corporate logos (see the note from 'thisisparker). The EFF site tries to be very careful about embeds and not serve scripts or images from third-party sites. For example, YouTube embeds there use youtube-nocookie.com with a click-to-load wrapper so that users have to affirmatively choose to interact with the YouTube servers. That's described at https://www.eff.org/pages/mytube-limit-privacy-risks-embedded-video https://www.eff.org/pages/mytube-limit-privacy-risks-embedde...
