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 |

I use a different Firefox session with a different profile to access sites such as Amazon, so that they can't share cookies, or read google cookies and find out about my searches. Use different profiles and sessions for google, facebook, etc. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

I doubt if there is a successful Internet retailer that doesn’t do the same thing. If I order something from Amazon, I do not have to sign in, nor do I even have to give them my credit card. What is strange about that is they are using an old credit card that has expired. My new one has a different security code, expiration date, and billing address — PeterN |

About as believable as ANYTHING else on The Net and especially Usenet. I've used Amazon and other sales sites on the net for years, and if my card is expired, they LET ME KNOW, and NO WAY in hell does my bank give them my new card number, let alone anything else. My card number DOESN'T even TELL them who my bank (Credit Union) is.. |
