On this VPN providers site is a tracker from Google which is not blocked by Ghostery. I mean the part of the website, which shows the social trackers.

If I use Disconnect it is blocked. I tried it with Chrome and Firefox and I have alle trackers selected in the Ghostery settings.

Now how do I report this so that it gets added to the list?

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for using Ghostery!

Just like this :-) We'll take a look and see what we can do. Do you have any other site examples of where we can see it?

That's not a "legitimate" tracker — it's something closer to click fraud. Explanation here:

It may not currently be possible for Ghostery to handle this in any sort of reasonable fashion.

Examples:
www.atgtickets.com
www.boaterexam.com
www.lmblasting.com
www.pcbunlimited.com
www.sumoheavy.com
www.thefriendlyfirm.com
www.pixum.dk
www.insurancejournal.tv

The offending code is also packaged in:

  Thanks for the link. I tried the the example code and they really use it on the page. Do you know some way to block it without using noscript?
