(Ghostery only counts third-party tools) means more data is being collected and that a website is partnering with more third-party web marketing firms.
Microsoft has more user trackers than Apple and Samsung
Microsoft is one of the large corporations that fight for users’ privacy, as its in-house Internet Explorer browser is being delivered with a Do Not Track option turned on by default.
But Microsoft actually has more user-tracking technologies than many other websites, including here retail sites, Ghostery developers claim.
Ghostery is a browser plug-in that allows users to identify third-party trackers on loaded websites, and offers support for the most popular browsers, such as Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, Opera and even Internet Explorer.
According to The Register, Ghostery has found a total of 137 trackers on Microsoft’s website, while technology giants such as Apple and Samsung had only 107 and 66 such technologies, respectively. Retail websites Tesco and Dabs used 64 and 12 tracking systems.
