A few weeks ago, my browser was logged into Facebook when I posted on Haaretz or some other Israeli newspaper website.
In that case, I told them "what I really think" - thinking that I was anonymous. It was something fairly benign, in other words, anti-Israel. Then I got to thinking - what is to stop Haaretz from sharing cookies with Facebook ? Given that both websites are run by criminal Jews with primary loyalty to Israel, if someone tells the truth about Israel in a post on Haaretz, what's to stop Haaretz from communicating via some software back-channel to ID the poster ? Given that Israel is obsessed with identifying their enemies (a good idea for a country that creates so many of them), AND has their tentacles deep inside Internet infrastructure (via collaborators like CIA, Facebook, etc.), there's no reason to expect them to "play nice". OK, so you open up your cookies to delete the Facebook cookies. You delete the Facebook cookies. How do you know there aren't some OTHER cookies that are used to track you - for example from your primary Yahoo email, to vile Israeli newspaper ? So this leaves me with a number of questions - 1. Should we have a tech forum category ? 2. Is it possible for Facebook - or one of their advertisers - or Mossad masquerading as an Internet advertiser/ web traffic firm - to install cookies on your computer, that ID you to other websites, whether or not you have deleted the Facebook cookies ? Of course, this raises a question - why have a Facebook account ? I have had old friends track me down using Facebook. Originally I opened one so I could look at my brother's family pictures. Now, I could look at my brother's pictures some other way, but I do want for old friends to be able to track me down. Just not Israel-loyalists ! |

Sure they do! http://www.hacker10.com/internet-ano...time-tracking/
Privacy Firefox add-on Collusion shows you real time tracking Caitlin / 3 August, 2011 / Internet Anonymity / Permalink Share Internet real time tracking Collusion is a Firefox addon that will show you how tracking cookies behave, it helps to educate users about how much personal data is being collected without their knowledge, many people do not realise that tracking cookies share data in between websites, this addon will show with grey dots legitimate cookies that store settings and tracking cookies that monitor what sites you visit on the web with red dots, and arrows indicating the traffic direction. This privacy addon shows a real time visualization of companies, analytic software, social networking sites and others tracking users across the web as they go from page to page, the extension launches the visualization website in a new tab and it remains open as the user surfs, it shows the user that advertising networks like Doubleclick (Google property) insert cookies that know what you do in a variety of unrelated websites belonging to different companies, aka tracking cookie, having a cookie sharing data across sites advertisers can build a personal profile with personal tastes based on what one has been looking at, this data can then be used to personalize adverts or sold. ![]() A privacy plugin like Collusion is useful to see for yourself all of the data that tracking cookies collect and share about you or to show your friends how they are being monitored on the web. Internet browser Do Not Track Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer browsers all have a built-in do not track feature allowing users to opt out tracking websites sending out a signal in the HTTP headers indicating this preference, but it relies on advertising networks honouring it, while the major players do, there are still many companies left that ignore the Do Not Track choice as it is not compulsory by law.
Once you have instructed websites not to track down your Internet browsing habits you could see the same adverts more often as nobody should know if they have already been shown to you at other websites, websites you visit could also get less money with Do Not Track visitors, targeted advertising commands higher dollar than random banners. |
