10 Ways Companies Track You Online

[@albertpike-e7c]

Nice one man! I don't know how, but you definitely found a niche here. Never seen this topic explained so clearly and straight-to-the-point, even though I am interested in it for more than a decade now (privacy/tracking). You've got a new fan! Keep up the good work (it is indeed GOOD!) ;)

Thank you very much for the content! Very clear and easy going. This comment is going to google to fill my profile (annoyed). One question about cookies, how it is harvested the way you're saying? I thought the cookie information could be read just for sites with same domain that the one who written it in first place. Maybe because they have scripts that execute other domain scripts inside? Like an embedded like button or something?

[@plaintextpackets]

Good question. Companies use shared ad networks which have common domains and can access cookies which were generated when accessing those sites.

@@plaintextpackets here it goes my cookie, three cookies at least, watch, like and comment (I say this as a joke, not sure if this happens like that but it could). Thanks!

Another great video the wider public do not have a clue and now that AI is using this data who knows what they know? Another database in the UK is again a marketing database but is what is known as the warranty database whenever you register for the warranty of a product whether online or via post all this data is stored in a database to send you details of future products, services etc. But here in the UK the database is avalabile to law enforcement and government agencies where for an example you have used your email address to login into a music download website but only last week you used the same email address to register a new laptop and added your phone and home address these details are now available and can be used to track you and if broken copyright laws there could be a knocking on your door.
