So they share your information with spammers, but you get to see what they're sharing?

I'm a bit suspicious about creating an account.

It just translates what trackers you have currently and displays them to you.

So like a Ghostery for your phone, but without the blocking part or something?

Or is that the opt-out thing? But it only works for their partner sites?

You can opt out, or select trackers to remove.

Anyone have bizarre preference data?

I'm not sure. But I'm starting to get the feeling I'm supposed to see something in this big empty white space on their website:

Edit: okay I'm nearly sure that's it now. It looks like it's supposed to be a javascript thingy that displays:

window.analytics||(window.analytics=[]),window.analytics.methods=["identify","track","trackLink","trackForm","trackClick","trackSubmit","page","pageview","ab","alias","ready","group","on","once","off"]

Something is blocking the thingy that's supposed to give me information about blocking thingies. Smiley: rolleyes

I checked this at home and had very little there. I guess my tracker-blockers are more effective at home than at work.

The data miners thought our household income was way above actual income and that my interest just was traveling. The thing is while I have many other interests that I'm surprise they didn't pick up on, I can only dream of traveling as long as my jewelry making is just thought as a hobby by the IRS and we still need to do major repairs to Jonwin's house.

PS I'm almost just hit enter and expected this to post on the board. I spend way too much time on Facebook.
