If you're allowing them during a session, you are being databased. Even if you dump them at the end, they've managed to do their trick. You'd pretty much have to wipe and burn every time you go to another website to avoid being tracked. And the point of the evercookies kind of techniques is to keep on tracking you, no matter how often you break the link. I dare say that using a search engine is probably the worst of the lot. It's going to get the widest view of what you do, as opposed to individually loading up your news site, then wiping and clearing, opening up your shopping site, then wiping and clearing, etc. Of course, your need for privacy differs from the next person, so that will affect how far you're going to combat it. One person's sick of advertising, or certain types of advertising, another person want to avoid being defrauded, another person's trying not to get killed by their monstrous government... -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
