And google is also a villain in the tracking you every where and now it will be worse.
do you really care if a few cookies are tracking your wanderings online?
if so consider this, if you live in a major metropolitan area of North America chances are you can be followed by camera almost everywhere you go. On my way to work I walk through 3 intersection cameras, pass close by 3 instant tellers (which if you are to naive to know, contain cameras) as well as lobby / enterance cameras to numerous to mention. At work there are 14 disclosed cameras as well as well as a number of undisclosed ones (I know because as management I have had the opportunity to have to dig up footage for police issues), theses cameras track not only employees but also every person that enters the place.
Online or offline there are very few places that true privacy exists. The best advice that can be given regarding this is to do nothing that will embarrass you .... anywhere

Yes I don't like tracking at all. How would you like me walking right behind you everyplace you go inside or outside of your home. Tracking in person, camera or text files is still tracking but all in there own way.
A childhood game, played with much enthusiasm (in the UK) called simply, 'cowboys and indians', required a selection process since none of us wanted to play the 'villainous' indians, so we had to resort to the 'eeny meeny miney moe...' rhyme to determine who played which role (it ends with the line "if he squeals let him go" and if the finger pointed at one on the word 'go' an indian one had to be. There was, I recall, one rule - the villains never won. Lotsa fun.
I think we need the bad guys. How else can we have the good ones? Perhaps more significant is the line (or zone) of demarcation between the two. In that area lie all the possibilities for enhanced excitement. The profits are greater according to the risk taken. This is where the true heroes and villains exist - where the best game is played.
We can call it the Internet.
Cheers.
Ben.

Just think how bad are ISP can be. They know everyplace we go no matter what are setting are on are computers. Firewall, router, no history or cookies does not matter because they know it all and if they keep all that info and use it for other things they could be the worse villain out there.

Hi DarqueMist , here in Britain I remember passing across Paisley's - outside Glasgow , Much smaller - main street junction in the early 1990's , in my friends car fitted with the then 'state of art' speed camera/stop light 'stealing' detector , he was a trans Europe trucker, and it registered 22 detectors/ e.m.f monitoring devices as we traversed that busy junction .
Britain is said to have the greatest number of cameras per head than anywhere in the world :this probably heavily weighted by London .
Yes , I do care . Does using my computer in my bedroom entitle me to more privvy -acy? or in the cludgie (Loo)... ( ;- ))
Seriously , I think what you can do with a computer and an internet connection should be as private as your diary or 'own business' work records, business plans, etc .
aarhus2004, #7 is a rather altruistic view , sound a bit 'evolutionary' . A good insight into how ALL advertising , can be found in "Frederik Pohl. The Frederik Pohl Omnibus - • The Wizards of Pung's Corners. 1959
• The Waging of the Peace. 1959 " .. two short, marvellous connected stories , maybe especially
if you are a sci-fi fan
