After installing Firefox and Lightbeam, I decided to search on Firefox some of my most favorite websites that I typically visit. The most shocking of all was the Province paper. Daily I visit this site for news updates and I was blown away with how I was being tracked. The screen literally lite up! There were about 100 sites that I did not visit that was tracking me from looking at this one site. It’s a scary concept to think that monitoring something so simple like the news leaves all of these bread crumbs on the web. I’m usually fairly good about deleting my cookies every so often as my settings are set to delete only when I click delete cookies. I will be changing my settings rather quickly!
