Ok, the reason for this post is I came across a web site that is running over 150 trackers on one page. Now most people wouldn't have a clue that this was taking place, and most wouldn't care but I think that is excessive to say the least.
In the EU websites have to get your permission in order to use cookies and many may feel this is over the top as they are just harmless. However have you considered how much tracking is actually done when you visit a site?
Below is the front page of LeadPages. Land on that page and 32 trackers kick into play. Now I'm not saying that there is anything suspicious in these as they are a reputable company who's whole business revolves around testing responses but wouldn't you like to know who is doing what? Compare LeadPages with Reddit that has just 2, or Craigslist(uk) that doesn't have any at all! A very rare occurrence.
As I'm very interested in internet marketing I like to see what other sites are using and how they are monetising their web real-estate (just call me nosey if you like).
If you are at all curious as to see who is tracking your web browsing or are privacy concious and want to be able to turn off some or all of these trackers at will then there is a very good Chrome extension called Ghostery where you can get info on how you are being tracked and by who.
