Research To "Reveal the Unseen World of Cookies"
An anonymous reader writes "The Guardian newspaper has teamed up with Mozilla to research the monitoring of online behavior through cookies and other web trackers. After downloading the Collusion add-on for Firefox, you can generate a visual representation of all the cookies that have been downloaded which are linked to the sites you have visited. This shows quite an interesting picture. The Guardian staff then want the data from Collusion to be uploaded to their site, after which they say 'we can build up a picture of this unseen world. When we've found the biggest players, we'll start tracking them back — finding out what data are they monitoring, and why.'"
Is there an equivalent of Collusion for Chrome?
I believe it's called Google Ads ;-)
Yo dawg... I heard u dislike being tracked, so we put a tracker in your trackers so you could be tracked while we track.
Story of my life. I brag about having 6, and the other guy has 9.
Science is all about firing a drunk pig out of a cannon just to see what happens.
