Cookies and Trackers: An illustration
Informative article to understand cookie and tracker behavior across multiple sites for your browser.
Over the weekend I came across an interesting Firefox extension. It has a very interesting and interactive feature of SPYDERWEB.
I am giving a small illustration below, of the steps I followed:
I opened nytimes.com , indiatimes.com & amazon.in .
Then opened the extension. Make sure the "lean mode" is off for spyderweb feature to work.
Once the extension tab is opened, it shows the tracker and cookies details.
To see the last site, change the toggle to Last URL.
It has features like Zoom In, Zoom Out, Hold and drag.
If you are interested, even you can do a quick use case study.
Pre-requisites:
- Have Firefox up and running.
- Redmorph extension added to firefox.
- Open top 3 sites that you visit most.
- And repeat the steps as I did.
Hope this article helped you understand the different trackers and their inter relation across sites.
