I Don't Block HTTP Cookies! - Rob Braxman Tech This will be a fascinating piece of information to many of you. Privacy oriented people will often spend a lot of time and effort blocking cookies using various means. I know this because of all the comments left on my videos extolling the various techniques used to disable cookies in some way. In this video, I will explain why I do not block cookies at all. It is important to understand the whole Advertising Technology (Ad Tech) approaches in general so you know how to deal with it and perhaps many of you are being led down the wrong path of privacy action because the threat is not fully understood. This is a very detailed analysis of cookies and Ad Tech approaches and supplied with defensive measures. At the end, there's a reveal of the real threat that this technology enables and it's not that obvious

Several months I started logging into Facebook with a VPN and private window. I've noticed a significant reduction in obvious Facebook tracking. I still have YouTube logins active but that will be changing. I normally use Firefox as a browser. I also have Chrome, but the only thing I use it for is Google Calendar because it has a different Google account which I use for business. I made the mistake of not logging out of that account before I made some comments on YouTube, which is why I started using Chrome only for the calendar and that account. Over a year later I still responses to my comments using that account on YouTube.

Your videos have so much useful information. Of course I want to stop tracking cookies. I use a Firefox browser and my privacy settings are set to block cross site tracking cookies, unvisited website cookies, 3rd party cookies and fingerprinters. I run Firefox in a sandbox and before I close my browser I clear all cookies and then I use my sandbox settings to clean everything out from a particular session. Is that effective in keeping cookies off my hard drive? Thanks again for your videos!

Question: How does all of this relate to Credit Card purchases?
When I travel, I use my credit card. Other than the obvious-cash, is there a way when making purchases when traveling with your card to avoid tracking? Hotels require credit cards when staying or require the payment in the form of credit card for payment.
This would be a great video subject if you have not already done so. Attempting to watch all your videos. Thanks for what you do. Peace, Mo

The only cookies I'm concerned about are those from -facebook. com- and -doubleclick. net--. - I've set my browser to accept them only for the current session. When the browser closes, they automatically get deleted. Doubleclick. net cookies belong to Google and that's how they follow users all over the Web with targeted advertising. Facebook. com cookies obviously belong to Facebook, which likes to track your activities -just because-.

My phone updated automatically & uninstalled the Odysee app. Also, a Lenovo Ideapad I bought doesn't allow changing the Administrator at all. It's permanently there (refer to your 12 steps to setting up computer. The screen wouldn't turn on the next day, although the power was fine.

Well. Thank goodness I've been telling different lies to websites about my age for years. Also been spelling my name different ways. I play CNN on this computer and turn off the sound. It's instinctive. Too many websites know my business.

I actually have a few extensions to block tracking. I guess if that's detectable, it will make me stand out. Vut it's very common to have at keast adblock plus, so that will probably not make me look special. I hope? :D

for ages they do not need cookie to track you, they simple use a cdn ja libraryr from fb or google, that is most dangerous type.
Your site load and in that moment you are allready tracked, put inside their lobs.

what data does Google or Facebook track when you logged in? Where can I find it? Does it track session duration, number of visits on the page where I am logged in with Google account? Where can I find this out?

Isn't it the responsibility of the browser to just handout this information willy nilly? Perhaps blocking is the wrong approach. The browser needs to step up the playing field and stop giving so much detail.
