Go up one level in this thread


You should download IDCIde, from http://www.idcide.com; it blocks cookies (any
decent browser can do that) on different levels or completely. But more
interesting, it network tracks and groups them.

You'll be amazed to look at the tracking stats.

An example: I daily visit http://www.calvinandhobbes.com, an innocent cartoon of
a little boy and his tiger.
The site has some 10 trackers at a time, with the well known doubleclick and so
on.

If you look at the sites that say doubleclick follows you over the net any
sucker could make up a profile of your interests on the net (and probably in
real life) that's over 90% accurate.

I was very well known to cookies, but until IDCide I never fully appreciated
their cleverness.
