I have just noticed something on Fabswingers. I dont use either Google or Chrome browser but when I push the F5 button update my screen one of the pages that gets up dated is googleanalytics. What I want to know is what has Google got to do with what I do on Fabswingers and is data on me , you and everyone else been sold by the site?

Analytics just records the number of hits a page has had and the very rough area of where its come from thats all xx

You can disable most tracking, where they use cookies. Facebook, if you use it, also tracks which websites you visit, even when you're not logged in to facebook.

I clear cookies out, apart from sites and services I'm comfortable with.

(unless the query string has a unique identifier which can be linked back to another data set making the pseudonymised analytics data just an extension of the other personal profile data)
