Do Not Track Me Plus

When I went to the website at first I did not understand how it worked but once I figured it out I started to surf the web. The first site I went to was Facebook and only one person was tracking me. The website that was tracking me was named "doubleclick". Well that was a very smart name for a website and I did exactly that, I double clicked it and it allowed the website to follow me. I noticed and blocked them again. Next, I went to Pinterest and I looked up Tri Delta, and I immediately had 2 followers. These were weird names that weren't any interest to me, so I just ignored them. I went to blogger.com next and I am all clear of trackers on this website! This is a very cool thing to have on your computer. I think I might keep it on here, although it is kind of creepy that people "track" me. I researched more on it and it is very weird, yet strategic, how they pull you in. They will use the ads that interest you or target your exact interests for you to click on them. After that they will blow you up with information about their website and try to get you to buy from it. These website owners are very creative and strategic about how they do things. This program is very interesting and I hope to look more into it.
