Every geek knows that google search tracks user behavior. When jotspot use google search engine your queries, queries time and clicked results are recorded by google in order to improve their service and if you are google apps conspiracy google site to profile people. Since 70% jotspot the people use google it’s not a small matter – google has a lot of data on how/what we search for and what sites answer our query. Usually people who hear this story react in two ways: the easy going say â€Swho cares.. I have nothing to hide†the more privacy cautious start deleting their cookies. This is an old story, but google sites has a new twist to it which I have noticed only recently. google sites I was visiting my favorite torrent site I noticed that they are using Google Analytics as their google sites analysis service. I found it very strange. Not only does google track my online habits on their sites google engine, they can now track me on none google jotspot as well. It all started 2 years ago when google opened up Google Analytics, google sites then a paid service, for free use by the public. sites google then it cost about $5k a year for websites to have similar web analytics and this was a real treat to a lot of websites. Slowly, one after the other, more and more websites started using google analytics, which is a hosted software google apps Google’s servers, as their web analytics software. In essence, Google got a full knowledge of where we go, what we do there, where we go from there, what we search for and what we do after we find it – no matter where we are on the web. I jotspot a lot of sites use google analytics, after all it’s a great service, but I didn’t expect a torrent site to run it due to its â€Scontroversial†content. I wondered how many big sites run analytics or are tracked by google. So I ran a little test on the most popular sites according to alexa: 41 of the 100 most popular sites are tracked by Google, and anything you say, post, read or do there is recorded by Google. If you remove google search google sites you learn that 14 out of 74 top websites use Google Analytics. These do not include sites that use adwords or google search in their google site which jotspot adds sites google to google’s tracking google sites profiling. That is a lot. You would expect site owners to hide their site stats from google. I was especially surprised by friendster, adult friend finder and Fotolog usage of sites Analytics… you would expect them to guard their stats data and host some other web analytics application. People who like to visit mininova or Youporn probably get an un easy feeling as well. As you can see Google knows a lot about your online habits. You can argue that they don’t use the data or that not much google site be done with all this data but without a doubt Google holds too much information on all of us. Especially as a corporate that does not sites to disclose what they do with all that tracked data. For the more privacy cautious between us the solution for preventing any site’s Google Analytics to record any information on google apps is quite simple. google sites add to your hosts file the following lines: Google Analytics javascript won’t be downloaded to your computer nor will it be able to send data home. |
