This site, how we are tracked, collusion, and Chrome

Ever wonder what info is sent of into cyberland about you because you use this site?  There is an app called "collusion" that will make a graph of what other sites receive info about you as a result of your online traffic.  Scary stuff.  Today when I check there were 2 sites that sent of info to a ton of sites- and OH was one of them.  Info was sent to 11 other sites after I went on here.  It is worth checking out if you ever wonder about these things.  If you go to the web store for chrome the app is called collusion for chrome, and it is free.

depends on your browser settings.  turn off 3rd party cookies and disable ads.  that cuts back on most of the possible tracking.

In the upper right hand corner of the Chrome browser are 3 horizontal lines, click there, choose settings, look under the privacy heading and adjust there.

Even better ... go to the Chrome Store and download for free ... DoNotTrackMe ... it's free.  I use that and it is great.  For instance I did download Collusion and in have DoNotTrackMe blocking for me.  Collusion said to turn off blocking and then see what happens.  As I am typing this email collusion says the only thing that is coming from this website is webspellchecker.net.  As you know when typing things there is a spell checker available ... you can turn it off but if that is the only thing that the web sees about me being on this site .... great ... gotta love that.

Use both of these apps and jus****ch the difference it makes.  Of course I also have blocked tracking in Chrome itself.

Go to chrome://settings/ and click advanced settings at the bottom.  Scroll down to privacy and select "Send a ‘Do Not Track’ request with your browsing traffic".  This could be helpful as well.
