I always wondered why when I am looking at the latest threads the google ad up top always is a link to the Glock Forum.....disturbing isn't it? Maybe someones trying to tell me something.
No, they are tellin ya to buy more of em before the next election in case something unthinkable happens such as a second term.
Most of those trackers are pretty much harmless, but it's kinda like having someone follow you to the store, then write down your license plate number (IP address), then follow you into the store, look over your shoulder and write down products that you look at or buy, ...........then follow you to the next store and to the same thing.
Not just today, but every time you go to town they are driving right behind you observing and cataloging your habits, purchases or interests...... how many gallons of fuel you use, and if you also used the rest room.......... and for how long.
Who knows what else they are taking notes on.
You never see em doing it 'cause they're sneaky......
..........no, they're um.......... they're
invisible, yeah,
THAT's the ticket!
invisible!
........... they might not know your name, but they may know your e-mail address. They know your habits and preferences and sell the data list of stuff they wrote down about you. I'm guessing they sell that data to other tracking firms and businesses and theoretically speaking, there might be a single data bank containing all of your internet habits.
That would be a bit unnerving if you ever saw it.
This website only has one and it's no big deal. It's a necessary thing for site hosts to earn some revenue to recoup their costs. .... but many other websites have lots and lots of trackers.
I wonder why any website would need 16 or 18 tracking agencies aboard.
I wonder if I started following one person around town every time they left their house and stood near by writing down where they went and what they looked at, who they talked to......... and then one day, they caught me doing it. If they asked me to stop, and I kept doing it, they'd probably call the cops and if I still kept doing it, they'd get a restraining order against me.
Is this scenario really any different than the way trackers work?
