Hi, Yes, I know those sites. They either provide services to the site (such as add this allowing people to share posts on facebook) or tracking information (such as XiTi helping us understand our users and how they interact with the site).

So these stalkers collect the information of each user and they are free to use the way they want right(like selling them)? You know the real meaning of peace only if you have been through the war.
Hi, You'd have to read each site's privacy policy and opt-out instructions if you are interested.
From many past experiences, there are a few things I don't openly debate with users of the site. One is advertising policy and another would be why we choose to run or not run various code beacons like that. If there are specific bugs or problems within those types of things, I will do my best to get it fixed. However, I won't get into a debate with you about the validity of running or not running them.
All I can say is I think you are off-base with some of your assumptions. Also, almost all large sites run some sort of tracking code so they can analyze their users and improve user experience.

kuwese, I'd say if your not happy about targeted advertising on the site, you should get a refund from Computing.net for using their site...... ...... wait a minute......

Hosts files maybe?
Anyone on the net these days that doesn't suspect their info is shared? If not, they are kidding themselves. I personally don't have a problem with it as long as it's not my passwords, credit card data, etc. that's being sold. The days on "total anonymity" on the internet are long over. If it's that big of a problem, then the fore-mentioned host file block should suffice, or opt-out here: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/

I run a lot of things through the hosts file myself. Likely
