I read this Online Learning Orientation a few weeks ago. I read all the activities, and at that time installed Lightbeam. Forgot about it until now. Wow. There is sure a lot going on that I was not aware of.
A few smaller sites had the most trackers, like bikeradar.com, rubiconproject.com, and tundratalk.com, mazdas247.com. CNN, WordPress and MEC also had over 50 each.
Amazon.ca had surprisingly few, at only 4.
Another interesting find was that hundreds of sites tracked me that I didn’t even visit. I visited 20 sites, yet had over 322 Third Party sites were visited as well.
And my default browser, Google Chrome, has no current settings to remove cookies. But a search did identify that these bits of data stay anywhere from 90 to 120 days.
