I hadn't read that; interesting. But note that it only says your data are
collected if you choose to "support" them, and apparently the data are
anonymised. Actually, when I looked just now I found that choice made for me
by default. I've now changed it - thanks for the pointer!
I'll continue to use Ghostery for the moment, as it seems highly effective in
stopping all manner of intrusions.
