TRACKING

Cleat Eastwood

In capitals too - Tracking - no not as in wheel alignment - I mean the tracking websites do.

I read an article that said that even if you 'cancel' your fb account, facebook can still monitor your habits on line - you only have to land on a page with an FB 'like' button and it will collect information on you.

They mentioned a plug-in for chrome/firefox that can block such tracking.

its from here

Its interesting to see just how often your private surfing is monitored and passed on/sold to other companies. On this site alone right now I'm blocking 5 sites from tracking me. Give it a go.

You did have a rather large hint in the deepest, darkest bit though..

but am I really in Dorset? or is that just a guise?

Thanks for that Cleat.

Chrome would not let me install it BTW, I had to go via the "Chrome Web Store", and then search for DNT.
