I don’t think you all do because it’s pretty well hidden. If I go to a shopping site and I want to buy a 3D printer and I save 2 of them and I save the reviews as a bookmark, cool, I have that for later to go shop there. Now, that info is saved and I can be advertised to for 3d printers because they know I’m looking at it right now. I can’t close out my browser where it’s set to delete all history, I can’t manually delete the info and there is no way to turn off the saving of this information.
Go to your hamburger setting for firefox and look at the bookmarks and history. It will be saved there from weeks ago. If it’s not tracked great, say so. If it is tracked, then let me turn it off. I don’t care if people are interested in what I’m interested in, but knowing the order knows what I’m interested in so they can sell me shit. Who hasn’t checked an airline for a price and then gone back a second later and the price went up. If they know I’m saving bookmarks for a trip, what do you think I’ll start out with? A lower price or a higher price?
I don’t know for sure that they’re tracking me this way, I just think it’s shady they don’t give you the option to turn it off and no one really knows about it. It’s not enough for me to switch browsers, it’s just something I think should be addressed.
