GUEST,Jon Tech: A sneaky bit of Google tracking (21) RE: Tech: A sneaky bit of Google tracking 21 Jan 16

With things like Google analytics and adsense in such common useage I guess the "combined efforts" of a lot of sites (including Mudcat) could make a pretty complete tracking system for Google.

Not sure about things getting quite this specific though. The only obvious link in all 3 cases seems to be your Mudcat identity.

I think the first thing I'd try to do is delete all Mudcat cookies and see if the subsequent Guest usage brings up the same adds. Don't just log out but delete them all in your browser - I think they are just analytic ones but the Mudcat cookies like __utma - __utmz are first party cookies set by Google's scripts.
