Trackers

Post by 2dr »

Safari on my phone says that in the past seven days it has stopped 101 trackers from profiling me. I kinda get this, but I don’t know if I should be worried.

Ideas?

Oh and by the way, ten were from Blue Guerilla. Should we all be worried?

There are no trackers on BG. It's probably just the cookie you get when you login.

Just did a check. According to Google, the site is clean.

Sweet. Just in case it may help, I will list what it says they are.
1. Amazon adsystem.com
2. Double click.net
3. Google analytics.com
4. Imr worldwide
5. Instagram.com
6. Redit.com
7. Redit static.com
8. Twitter.com
9. YouTube.com

Dunno where the tenth one is. Hope this helps.

Those would be from embedded media, so Youtube links, images etc., etc.

Nothing to worry about. They can be blocked though if you are worried about them.

Not worried. If they are safe and Safari is blocking them, then it is all right. Cheers Zoidberg. 🤓
