Among other things, they're using Criteo Email, which can supposedly identify an e-mail address for up to 30% of a site's unregistered traffic. http://www.criteo.com/what-we-do/products/ http://www.criteo.com/what-we-do/products/ You'll find that, along with a dozen other marketing/tracking related products, by observing all the JavaScript tags the site loads through your browser's network inspector. You won't find some of them in the HTML source because they're using tag managers to inject additional script tags into the page after it's loaded.

Thank you for your message. That's impressive, and really disturbing! Is there more details somewhere about how they can get an email, and how to avoid this ?

That's very creep. Would adblocker stop that kind of script injection?

  If you want to block tracking scripts, Ghostery is the go-to extension for that.

  There is a nice article in LifeHacker that may come in handy for the problem here : http://lifehacker.com/the-best-browser-extensions-that-protect-your-privacy-479408034 http://lifehacker.com/the-best-browser-extensions-that-prote... I personnaly went with Disconnect (https://disconnect.me/ https://disconnect.me/ - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disconnect/jeoacafpbcihiomhlakheieifhpjdfeo/related https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disconnect/jeoacaf... ) but the LifeHacker post is a must read imho.

  A lot of them, yes. But there are techniques like browser profiling or persistent cookies[1] that still manage to trump a lot of them. The best blocker I've come across is ublock, amazingly memory efficient, fully customizable and featuring so many good block lists that it should block at least as much as ghostery or disconnect (if not more). Just the GUI looks a bit .. functional [1] http://samy.pl/evercookie/ http://samy.pl/evercookie/

on top of abp, does add-ons like NoScript or Ghostery help?
