10 Tips to Avoid Leaving Tracks Around the Internet - The New York Times


What's His Name is still sick and Panzer has been helping Mom with her nursing duties, so his trip into the Catosphere was a quick one. Our speedy kitty stopped in at The New York Times site. With a little digging in the posts, he found one about protecting your privacy online.

According to David Pogue, the post is a collection of privacy ideas submitted by Crowdwise readers. There is a total of ten ideas to avoid or at least cut down on the ads, cookies and tracks that follow us around the Internet. Included are the usual culprits Google and Facebook. plus eight more. This is a followup to the Google privacy post Panzer told you about earlier this month. There are links to ad blockers, privacy settings pages and other helpful sites included in the post.
Cookies are bad for you? Say it isn't so!

Panzer says, "Why does The New York Times tell how to avoid cookies? Sometimes here, Mom says to eat chocolate chip cookies, so I know she likes cookies."

Note: This is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow all the links in the post, also bring a gallon of tea and a dozen muffins. Oh yeah, bring six chocolate chip cookies too.
