I believe you are being tracked, even without a facebook account. You are just 'anonymous user the dod' in some distributed database at facebook. Maybe they aggregate this data, maybe they throw it away after some period of time (hours, days, weeks, years). See http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/10/18/1429223/facebook-is-building-shadow-profiles-of-non-users as an example. Twitter, google, facebook, and others all have the capacity to do this with ease. And just because you clear some cookies and log out of facebook, twitter, etc, doesn't mean they stop tracking you. Here's the facebook example, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/10/facebook%E2%80%99s-hotel-california-cross-site-tracking-and-potential-impact-digital-privacy. And here's a couple of articles on how to track you without using cookies or IP addresses, http://www.jasonmorrison.net/content/2010/three-ways-sites-can-track-visitors-without-cookies/ and http://www.jasonmorrison.net/content/2010/three-ways-sites-can-track-visitors-without-cookies-part-2/. -- Andrew pgp 0x6B4D6475 _______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list liberationtech@lists.stanford.edu Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
