Well, I had to look up Duckduckgo as I have never heard of it. American like Google. I use Google but I don't worry about anyone tracking me - I have nothing to hide and I have software protection on my computer.
I have nothing to hide is the argument that those who want track us use. The answer is, why do you need to track us? The answer of course, is to build up a profile on you. Then that profile is bought and sold, so that we are tracked just about everything from our sleep, our social life, I bet they even know how many bathroom trips we make.
Another Duckduckgo user here. I have never used any of the popular or famous social media sites and just before I log off I clear all of my viewing history, then I clear the browsing data and finally, I clear all temporary files, cookies & web form information. Bull Guard does that for me, but I feel happier seeing it deleted.
The tracking by these companies is the reason I don't have loyalty cards and never pay for anything by any method other than cash. A very skilled milliner in Belgium made me a hat for a wedding outfit, she spoke excellent English, so I phoned her and asked how much was the total price including shipping. It came to just under two hundred Euros.
Without telling her, I went to a post office, bought two hundred Euros, slipped them inside a complimentary greeting card with a message of thanks and posted it. Two days later, the phone rings, it's my milliner: "You've sent me cash!" She exclaimed, "I have never been paid in cash," "don't you know what to do with it?" I asked, she laughed and said, "of course I know," but it's still a novelty. She actually photocopied the money as it sat, inside the card. She might have even put the image on her website. Cash a novelty, who would have thought?
