If a site knows your identity, i.e. when you're logged in, this site may gather referrer URLs of pages that you have visited. Catchword is: user profiles. There are many companies - and I wouldn't exclude Google here - that are very interested in such user profiles. They never say exactly what they are really doing with the gathered informations - although it's easy to guess: Finally they want make money out of it So suppressing the referrer header is only one precaution amongst others. Especially Javascript can be very talkative. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
