What a load of utter b@ll@cks! PPRuNe does not use any spyware. All PPRuNe uses is cookies so that next time you log in your computer will tell you which threads and posts are new since you last logged in.

Get a life and do a bit of research before you go around casting those sort of conspiracy theories. An advertiser may set their own cookie but as for using something that tracks where you have been on PPRuNe...

Like I need the extra bandwidth and server load of keeping track of what thread 35,000+ people a day are reading! The product you have referred to is probably something one of the advertisers uses to track you if you visit their website and it will be able to verify that you came from PPRuNe but that's it.

Grow up and if you are going to post this kind of rubbish then at least do it in the Computers & Internet forum!
