33 Trackers

My Ghostery plug-in found 33 trackers on The Economist website.

Trackers

33!!!

Definitely a good reminder that there are so many companies who are hungry to collect information about me. What do I read, what are my interests, what do I buy.

And again, I am torn between the need for privacy and improving my experience.  It is annoying that 1 minutes after surfing at a leather bag website, I get on Facebook an ad for that shop.
I am sure Facebook is making a lot of money out of it, but it feels … bad.  I definitely Don’t want to reward these two companies by buying and always activating my “don’t buy that, you don’t really need this” mental plug-in.
