How many companies do you have eyes on online?

And yes, it's no joke, many companies track you thanks to spy software,
but on the net the cause is your cookies.
No, they're not American cookies but computerized traces of sites you visited!!
Money is money, this information is worth gold for companies to know your tastes and better target you!

Combien de societés vous pistes sur internet ?

Example:
If you are looking for a lawnmower and you do a search on the net....
strangely you will receive ads for the latest lawnmowers...
Advertising, spam... that's not magic!
OT: barman47, all these women you think you're making fantasize... you're not a don-Juan, it's just that you surfed where your age forbids it!

I present to you a site that will allow you to clean (erase) them or completely block them!
https://selectout.org/ How it works:
1-click on the link
2-you see the number of cookies tracking you
(you can know the name of the companies)
3-click on OPT-OUT to block everything!
4-there you go!

5- Additionally, I recommend the FIREFOX browser and its ADBLOCK PLUS plugin
(if you are infested with ads and other spam do a cleanup with anti-spyware malware and virus software)

aaaaah isn't the world beautiful

Thanks for sharing

edit: I added a click counter to your source. Just to stay in the same spirit. Snitching mode

Let's go crazy... I tested it. It works fine, except now I get ads for girly stuff

edit 2: phew!!! saved!!! ADBLOCK PLUS exists for chrome too

and it works really well. Thanks

I often stumble onto forbidden sites

and by mistake of course

yes yes yes

ps: selecout screws up with ie7. cookie issue and it goes round in circles. only my wife uses ie7 for a site that's a bit old and doesn't work on previous versions or other browsers

not bad Oops!

I can't live without it anymore, it blocks 95% of ads! (maybe more!!)
you can even block banners manually by right-clicking and blocking with adblockplus!
*you can also subscribe to lists other than French ones... especially if you're a fan of American sites!!!
