The Compers Inn - Part 29

divadee

FRESH START FOR ALL!!!

same rules as before

Chat about anything and everything in this thread (at least it will keep the boards clean:D ) If some comper stuff comes into it that would be great :rotfl:

Keep proper comping discussions to the Competition Discussion Thread.

Now The Rules

No trainers and smart causal dress only.

Most of all have fun and PLEASE BE NICE TO ALL MONEYSAVERS/COMPERS

Big Brother is Watching You!! - More Info
Think that maybe I should stop digging as I'm beginning to frighten myself :eek:

however I will leave you with this the information on the following pages

I first found this site which displays Competitions Time group user activity
http://boardreader.com/fp/www_moneys...me_597926.html

and was then amazed to find this site which tracks every MSE's user activity
http://www.boardtracker.com/profile/3706/493519

is being relayed via MSE to Google Analytics who then make the information openly available to sites like the above!

from Wikipedia
Quote:
Google Analytics is implemented by including what is known as a "page tag". This is referred to as the Google Analytics Tracking Code (GATC) and is a hidden snippet of JavaScript code that the user adds onto every page of his or her website. This code acts as a beacon, collecting private visitor data and sending it back to Google data collection servers for processing
Quote:
Users can officially add up to 50 site profiles. Each profile generally corresponds to one website.


Privacy Issues

Quote:
Google Analytics, due to its ubiquity, raises many privacy concerns. Whenever someone visits a website that uses Google Analytics, Google tracks that visit via the user's IP address. Because so many websites use Google Analytics, Google is able to track visitors across websites, theoretically giving Google a real-time view of the traffic on much of the web.

In addition, since Google also has personally identifiable information for more individuals than any other statistics service, there is a significant potential for abuse.



This was from Amilucky earlier and I find this really worrying

Amilucky?

Thanks for bringing my post forward tttJay

I was concerned that the thread was moved to GAME OVER so I reposted the info in the Competitions Discussion Thread here
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2661307

I have also posted it in the Skimlinks discussion thread
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2640163

hope that this isn't overkill!
