On my desktop pc, (Win 7) whenever I go to some websites, whether with IE or Firefox, some tracing activity takes place and locates my nearest town. (Slough).
So I want to look up, say, Carphone Warehouse, on Google, and a map of its nearest locations turns up on the google results page.
I use BT, with fibre to the cabinet.
Afaik, this did not happen before I went on to BT's FTC system. I thought that BT just gave out some generic info, placing me in the South east.
Have the tracing activities of Google et al become better? Does BT let out more info?
On Firefox, I have ticked the "do not track" box. For the proxy stuff, I use "auto detect proxy settings"
How can i find out what info they are getting, and how can I reduce the info, should I want to? ..............without getting tooooo complicated.
