5 Things We’ve Learned About How Companies Track You Online And Off

 

I don't use a smart phone nor do I use social media. I try to make my purchases in an actual store.

 

But this is to help the ones that do this stuff.

I don't understand when you say "I try to make my purchases in an actual store". Do make purchases on line?

 

I try not to.

 

If you only make "store" purchases, the only way to prevent disclosures is to pay by CASH (notes/coin), take delivery yourself and don't give your details for warranties or guarantees. You need to be completely anonymous. EFTPOS, credit or debit cards leave "footprints". Too late to worry about these things at my age. Just be careful out there.
