Should you Surf Anonymously?
There is a genuine concern around privacy and the justifiable question of what do some websites use your information for and who do they pass on your details to? These Privacy concerns typically arise from cookies used by embedded advertising or other content recording on web sites; sometimes called third-party cookies. Since the ads are typically served up from some other website, they can create and drop in a cookie of their own. Advertisers can then keep track of how often you visit which sites they have their advertising on. This is one reason you know how to delete cookies from your PC. I will be writing all about how to surf anonymously in the coming weeks. I plan to have my first page on this topic here in May 2013.
