I hadn't read that; interesting. But note that it only says your data are |
| 19 |
collected if you choose to "support" them, and apparently the data are |
| 20 |
anonymised. Actually, when I looked just now I found that choice made for me |
| 21 |
by default. I've now changed it - thanks for the pointer! |

I'll continue to use Ghostery for the moment, as it seems highly effective in |
| 24 |
stopping all manner of intrusions. |
