<< This is done and hs been done for years, what do you
think cookies from ad firms do? Engage has the ability
to track what you do online, what content you are
trending towards. Say you visit 10 auto sites, there
is a good chance three of them will be "Engage Enabled."
Engage will recognize this and start sending you auto
ads. >>
I bought a software package that allows businesses to get
targeted snail mail address list. What I do NOT like about
the software and didn't realize came with the package was
that when I downloaded the software to my computer it
embedded a cookie to my hard drive. I have tried removing
it by deleting the software but haven't been successful.
Each time I click to a site I hear a "click" sound and I
know the software is following me around.
I think software packages and sites should have to post a
note that they place a cookie on computer systems when folks
stop by to visit. On or offline, consumers should have the
right to decide whether they want to be shadowed or not.
