    You did no such thing because, I made no such claim.

    I made it clear that options are available to keep websites from tracking you. Options in the browser and add-ons like "Better Privacy" work to do just that. You can believe what you want, it doesn't make you right.

    A VPN will not protect you from tracking cookies or LSO's.

    Everyone can see you did,no need to deny it,it is all there in black and white.




    Why don't you explain to us how they track you when they do not have your IP address then? Lol.

    Then you should easily be able to quote me claiming that deleting and pausing your web history was going to stop people tracking you. Show us all the quote.

    Flash-cookies (Local Shared Objects, LSO) are pieces of information placed on your computer by a Flash plug-in. Those Super-Cookies are placed in central system folders. They are frequently used like standard browser cookies. Although their thread potential is much higher as of conventional cookies, only few users began to take notice of them.

    Some Flash-cookie (LSO) properties in short...
    - they are never expiring - staying on your computer for an unlimited time.
    - by default they offer a storage of 100 KB (compare: Usual cookies 4 KB).
    - browsers are not fully aware of LSO's, They often cannot be displayed or managed by browsers.
    - via Flash they can access and store highly specific personal and technical information (system, user name, files,...).
    - ability to send the stored information to the appropriate server, without user's permission.
    - Flash applications do not need to be visible
    - there is no easy way to tell which Flash-cookie sites are tracking you.
    - shared folders allow cross-browser tracking, LSO's work in every flash-enabled application
    - the Flash company doesn't provide a user-friendly way to manage LSO's, In fact it's incredible cumbersome.
    - many domains and tracking companies make extensive use of Flash-cookies.

    A VPN will NOT protect you from LSO's.

    It is all there for everyone to see. Anybody wants to see it just scroll back a few pages.



    You failed to explain how an LSO can track you when it does not have your IP address. Will you be coming back to address that point or be giving up as you cannot answer it. Cutting and pasting from the better privacy site did you no good at all. If you cannot answer then just say.

    Because this system does not want other people find out that there are people who think completely the opposite of what this system is propagating.

    If it's so easy then you should have no problem quoting me.

    The LSO only needs a browser connected to the internet. It doesn't matter if the network is a VPN or not. Anyone on that VPN that visits a website that issues these LSO's will get that "super cookie" that tracks the browser into their computers. Unless they use the precautions I stated.

    They cannot track you if they do not have YOUR IP ADDRESS, what are you not getting about that fact? NO IP NO TRACKING.

    Couldn't quote me making the claim, could you?

    Better yet, you explain how a VPN can access the internet without a traceable IP address.

    I accept your defeat at not answering the question and now trying to go off in a different direction.You obviously could not answer how an LSO can track you without an IP address because the fact is it cannot. I already covered your other line on quoting you in a previous post.

    A VPN can not connect to the internet without an IP address. If a browser on that VPN accesses certain websites or plays certain Flash videos, an LSO will be placed in the computers system files that track a users selections, browsing habits, and other information.

    A VPN is no protection from an LSO.

    You did not.
    I never claimed that Google could use your search history to track you, ever.

    Yawn. Another guy who cannot answer a question and tries to change the subject . Ten a penny on here. I will ask yet again. How can an LSO track you when it does not have your IP address? You have failed to answer about 4 times now.

    Didn't seem to help the owners of the Pirate Bay....they we're tracked...and sent to prison. TPB is on...what...it's third generation of owners now?

    Nothing on the web is 100% safe, there's no guarantee in all these fancy proxy and traffic outlets. I'ts just another drain on your wallet and another reason to sleep safe at night :shh:

    I am pretty sure that Pirate Bay was not brought down by an LSO tracking them but if you can provide evidence then I will have a look into it.
