Default Re: Internet ad tracking to put spy camera in millions of homes!

Hi Jacqui D,

Once again, this is nothing new.

Google 'cookies' then 'keyloggers', 'site trackers'.

My site can identify visitors (by their IP address), I can identify e-mail addresses, I know when someone receives a message, when they open the e-mail, their geographical location etc. etc. the really long list goes on....

It already makes up part of internet marketing. What they want to do in this case is mix the two so they can reach you in both virtual and real worlds.

Best regards,

Steve

This for me is nothing more than spying on individuals, soon your most private messages will not even be safe.
I'm all for keeping the more seedy sites clamped down but this is taking it to far!
