Ok here goes,,, I have a QUESTION and Praise Ghostery also ;> My question is this, When I click on to the ghost and view whos tracking me, how do I no if its an individual (ex, insecure boyfriend)? Is there a way to figure it out? I'm still new to this. I appreciate any feedback you folks could offer.

    It makes me wonder why any mature, secure person would do such a thing......... Still can't figure it out? \
    Perhaps you should be tracking him,,,,, sounds shady

    Hi sierrababe, thanks for using Ghostery.

    Ghostery matches an internal list of companies that are known or capable of recording analytics about you such as search results, geo-location, browser information and many other items. The list consists of companies only and is not personal =)

    LOL, if that individual has a particular target, it's easier to plant a logger rather than to set up a tracking website & somehow lure in the target, discarding insignificant visitors

    i've just read that ff stores history & bookmark in PROFILE/places.sqlite (i imagine it's not so diff with other browsers), so if what that sierrababe-lover wants is only your web history, a rough way is to have a script in background back up the file everytime its size increases

    BTW, while reading Felix reply, i can't help recalling that a company/corporation is a legal person in the eyes of most company/corporate laws, having most legal rights & conceptually immortality. a nice quote from a documentary: "corporations have no soul to save, no body to incarcerate"

    cheers :)
