Researchers Expose Cunning Online Tracking Service That Can’t Be Dodged
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/07/undeletable-cookie/ Quote: So if a user came to Hulu.com from an ad on Facebook, and then later, using a different browser on the same computer, visited Hulu.com from Google, and then at some point signed up for the premium service, KISSmetrics would be able to tell Hulu all about that user’s path to purchase (without knowing who that person was). That tracking trail would remain in place even if a user deleted her cookies, due to code that stores the unique ID in places other than in a traditional cookie. Cookies can be controlled by you at will but only if you disable JS. Otherwise, expect to be tracked and to have information about you sold to the highest bidder.

those online banking, paypal, moneybookers would be the end-point that highly 99% accurate to reveal who this person who bear such id number travel from website A-Z.
very evil if those bank participates, but i guess, FBI, CIA will just force them to use such technology. |

Safe internet is like safe sex, you can try, but at some point, it will eventually get you.

@rev i was talking about zombie cookies only.
i think i'll start using lynx web browser or is it too late. i mean look at these sites taking so long just to load a damn JS file into the caching folder. even worse when you are on at&t's 22.5k bandwidth speed. what a joke...fuck at&t for ripping us off. what's wrong with people? |

Quote: Yes, with cookies. This is well it is easy to delete all, but most website just won't function if u delete or disable their cookies. Forsure we can set rules on those sites that we usually visit, how bout those that we random visit while google for info. I c no way we can disable tracking |

Disable JS and flash. That gets rid of the nasty stuff
Disable third party cookies. Now you are 99% of the way there. Clear your cookies each day or so. Now you are 99.9% done. Forge your referer. 99.999% done. Disable FRAMEs, IFRAMEs and external images. Now you are 99.9999% done. If still worried then use proxies and make your browser ID string uniform. You're 100% done. Did I miss something?

sit back and enjoy the .GIF hardcore porn. btw, if you go to adobe's flash application data folder, you'll find all the flash settings files for all the sites you visited that have flash on. and some sites have hidden flash too. anyways... |

Without JS and Flash I would be like a deaf and blind, I can't imagine life without music and visual arts (Internet is a cheapest source of media these times).
