Thread Starter 

 Greetings I was wondering if I could get the website IT person to instruct me on how to get BYC to stop tracking my cookies. I use safari or Mozilla and have the do not track selected. Which means this site is pruposfully ignoring the do not track. Please instruct me on proper protocol as I feel this method is an invasion of my privacy.

Tracks listed when i clicked on this page.  Discovered by  AVG  "do not track".

   personal data collection:  no

   Non-personal data collection yes

  Data Sharing  Yes

  Data Retention  No
 

Tracking is an everyday part of web browsing these days.  I only get concerned when personal info is collected or shared.

This is true. As far as know, the best you can do is go to Tools at the top of your page, use the drop down menu and click "Start Private Browsing". You can turn off cookies entirely, but there are many sites that won't allow you to go there with cookies turned off. Delete cookies regularly.

What is Private Browsing?

When using Firefox’s Private Browsing feature, the following information will no longer be remembered by the browser as history:

  • Visited Pages
  • Form and Search Bar Entries
  • Passwords
  • Downloaded Files List
  • Cookies
  • Web Cache Files

There are two caveats to using the Private Browsing feature in Firefox. First, any new bookmarks you create while in Private Browsing mode will not be removed or deleted when you deactivate Private Browsing.

Second, files saved to your computer under Private Browsing will not be deleted when you stop using this feature. However, temporary files you downloaded will be deleted from your computer’s temporary folder. Luckily, none of these files will ever show up in the Downloaded files list.

The next version of IE, version 10, will default to do not track; everything else requires you to find that setting and implement it yourself.

 

This is an interesting development- online advertising and marketing firms are in an uproar, since it cuts deep into all their plans to aggregate data on you from across multiple different sites you visit. There will be a lot of pressure on microsoft to back off, but if they don't it is a game changer.

Except most don't use IE because it is the worst of all browsers.
