Do Not Track Snoopertizing

"Marketing fuels the world. It is as American as apple pie and delivers relevantadvertising to consumers about products they will be interested at a time they are interested. DNT should permit it as one of the most important values of civil society. Its byproduct also furthers democracy, free speech, and – most importantly in these times – JOBS. It is as critical to society – and the economy – as fraud prevention and IP protection and should be treated the same way. .."

It would not be terrible if Co A delivered ads with a cookie that expired when you left the website. They don't. So instead of being served insurances ads on EVERY gd website I visit, half the index pages are saturated with Googlegag offensive garbage. Because I dare visit a tech site, I am now served up ads for software I cannot use and would not buy. DSLR is one of the few places on the web where I'm left in peace. No ads.

I dropped all grocery cards for the same reason. I don't want the ads in the door, the mailbox, or the computer. I buy from selected service providers I know and trust. I can count them one hand. The funny thing is... I never see these companies sit up like a well trained dog and beg for sales. I do not see smarmy googlegagjunk on their sites or in their stores, either. If I want to see ads, I can see it in the newspaper.
