Zombie Bert and Earnie
Tools on your computer to "delete all cookies" are easily evaded, and the "zombie cookie" is just one example. Last fall, a programmer created a tool called "EverCookie" designed to make sure that tracking code cannot be removed.
We think you deserve some privacy while you're online. So we're pushing for new framework that would give you some choice in the matter. Help us by lending your voice now.
Join our campaign to support a privacy law and stop the unwanted tracking once and for all!
If you don't mind that companies on the Internet track your activities, then you should be able to choose that.
But millions of people would like to say no. A Do-Not-Track mechanism is the simple way for you to say 'no thanks' to being monitored while you surf the web.
You should have the right to decide if your private information — your e-mails, your book choices, your health concerns, your research on retirement options — is collected, analyzed and profiled by online tracking companies that you have no relationship with and have never heard of.
Take a moment right now to show your support for privacy legislation in Congress.
Do you know others who may be concerned about their privacy when they go online? Please forward this e-mail to them so they can show their support too.
Sincerely,
Jim Guest
