Ghostery is showing one site had 16 trackers on it! Some 4 to 6 others in the teens. Can’t believe how “loaded” sites are with trackers. Seems like everything has trackers on it! Yup. That's my experience as well. I've been using Ghostery for a couple of years now, and I've noted that very few sites are benign when it comes to this stuff. Some blogs and sites like FR are trackerless, but most of them attach a posse of bots to your computer.

This web page you are reading has a nasty tracking script: Google Analytics. Look at the bottom two lines of the BODY. They are:
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">_uacct = "UA-2288668-1"; urchinTracker();</script>
Why is FR using a sophisticated tracking system that can geographically locate users? Or can track which other web sites they visit?

You will have to ask John Robinson that question. . . it is not my place to answer for FreeRepublic. Nor do i see what relevance it has in reference to this discussion from January about a proof of concept exploit that is not in the wild.

It makes as much sense as you spamming FR 24x7 with Apple trolling.
The article you posted was about upper Cookies and tracking. I guess my comment relating to tracking wasn’t in your Apple orders for the day.
