[video=youtube;EKzyifAvC_U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKzyifAvC_U[/video] https://www.ghostery.com/en/ It tells you site by site who is tracking you. We seem to have a lot of trackers (7) here on S2. Denny, which ones should I leave on and which ones should I block?
i see no downside to cross platform predictive analytic assisted marketecture advert modeling it tells me what i want before i even know i want it like "thousands of hot asian singles to choose from"
I installed it and see three. DoubleClick is for the ads we're showing for the Blazers. DoubleClick's privacy policy can be found here: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/. You can block ads with an ad blocker. I prefer to see them. Google Analytics is how we track what pages are popular on the site, how many visitors we get, where they come from, etc. This is completely harmless and not an invasion of privacy in any way. Omniture is roughly equivalent to Google Analytics. It is on the Blazers' behalf so they can see what pages are popular (and thus to read).
OK, found another: Scorecard Research. I don't know how these got on the page, I assume via the ads. http://www.scorecardresearch.com/Home.aspx ScorecardResearch, a service of Full Circle Studies, Inc., is part of the comScore, Inc. market research community, a leading global market research effort that studies and reports on Internet trends and behavior. ScorecardResearch conducts research by collecting Internet web browsing data and then uses that data to help show how people use the Internet, what they like about it, and what they don’t. ScorecardResearch collects data through from two main sources: surveys and web tagging. For our surveys, we invite people on the Internet to provide us with anonymous demographic and Internet usage information that we can use to refine our reporting. These surveys are always voluntary, and are never used to collect personal information. For web tagging, participating websites agree to deploy a special code throughout their sites. Again, no personally identifiable information is ever transmitted by, or linked to, the web tags.
Both analytics and Omniture are used to track how you came to the site (like from a google search result or a link on some other site or your own bookmark, etc.). They track how you browse this site. They are useful to know things like the typical user spends X minutes on the site when they visit. There's no data collected specifically for the individual users - there's no point. We look at the Google Analytics, the Blazers look at the Omniture. Omniture costs, that's why we don't use it for S2 Web Beacons explained here: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/web-beacons/ Seem harmless enough.
http://www.theguardian.com/technolo...arch-tracking-trackers-cookies-web-monitoring I neer head of scorecard before today. FWIW. I figure it's part of Google's ads. It is not in any script tag or referenced directly by any HTML or JavaScript served by this site. The ads and analytics are not served by this site.
