B&H is sharing your data! Sharing your DATA!!!
On Dec 5, 2017, RichA wrote
(in ): Most of these sites have fine-print legal boiler-plate alluding to things like this. Or not, if not, the guy might sue. But has no one noticed after having dealt with a site, all of a sudden you get spammed by a half-dozen other sites who could only have gotten say your email from the site you dealt with? As for Dpreview and all other sites, I figure hundreds of little minion are frantically going over data gleaned from dozens of cookies, desperately trying to figure out how to sqeeze more money out of us. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/60471676 It is cookies doing their thing. The most common manifestation I see is with add supported sites such as fujirumors.com when adds for a specific item, and vendor appear after I have made a purchase, or search at Amazon, or B&H for the same item, and they try to sell me something I have just bought. For most sites I use an add blocker, but when I want to access the content of the site, I just ignore the adds. -- Regards, Savageduck |
