UPDATE 9/28/2011: Facebook admits it tracks its users around the Internet! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...acy-row-Social-network-giant-admits-bugs.html If you have a Facebook account, when you logout, the website is still tracking where you go. Facebook places a cookie on your computer that tracks your online behavior long after you've left the site. I have mentioned this before in other posts, and it's the main reason we don't have Facebook links on this site. If you are a member of Facebook, YOU HAVE NO PRIVACY ON THE WEB! BTW, I have seen stats (on another website) that indicate that around 6% of you come to the Hipforums directly after visiting Facebook. So even though we don't have a Facebook link, Facebook and other websites can track your activity from there to here... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/26/facebook-logout-cookies-privacy-tracking_n_980838.html
Wow big fucking brother manifesting via Facebook. In case you werent aware FB is a CIA intelligence gathering device. Fuck FB.
You have no privacy on the web, facebook or no facebook. The web is, and always has been a public place!
my fake boook wasnt on this computer, in fact my HD crashed a few times on the other one , so I dont think there are any cookies left on it..
Good thing I completely got rid of Facebook and every file/exe associated with it on my computer as well as my account online. It has been six months without Facebook and I'm loving it: no useless information from 'friends' you met once, no more drama between bickering idiots, more privacy in you web experience.
I'm always paranoid that Google would be doing it, but I guess now it's Facebook... Aren't they all in cahoots anyway?
No, they are very much in competition. They both make their money off selling ads and consumer statistical info. Shoot Google made their own social network to give the big F-U to facebook.
I have to say I do have an account. Not in my real name. Im addicted to pot farm what can I say. My FB status all the time "Fuck Facebook"
Both google and facebook totally have me wrapped around their fat fingers. It's the fact that I can't even buy a damn phone and use it without having a stupid gmail email adress. Screw smart phones anyway, I would much prefer to have a simple walmart phone. Too bad I didn't know all this when I decided to buy a cool android. Booooo.
Prolly wont do fuck all for you. They probbaly send the cookies every time you visit a site when you visit it
if i delete all cookies and never access my FB from my computer will that keep them from tracking me? if it's not FB it'll be another way I suppose... i use FB to keep contact with family, my close friends, and people who are out of my area. i sooo wish i could delete it. i keep simplifying. sooner or later I'll say goodbye.
