Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2007 02:32:19 -0700 From: "Kristian Erik Hermansen" <kristian.hermansen@...il.com> To: full-disclosure@...ts.grok.org.uk Subject: Google Tracking It appears to me that Google has the ability to know nearly all the sites you have visited because many larger web presences utilize Google Analytics. What this means is that Google is continually compiling data on every visitor across the Internet. If they like, they should have the ability to tie this to any Google services account you operate. Thus, perhaps they can search your Google user id and see nearly all the web sites you have ever visited across the Internet (not necessarily using their search engine, mind you). Pretty cool, or scary, depending on which side of the fence you sit. Now, correct me if I am wrong here, but I would like to hear from anyone who utilizes Google Analytics and believes this is not the case. Does the EULA suggest that Google is not tracking users across the entire Internet? Just a random though I had. Maybe this is widely known and everyone has taken proactive measures to hide this data from Google already. It is merely as simple as blocking the domain. Maybe there is a more elegant way to do it? -- Kristian Erik Hermansen _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
