Web Bugs, ahhhhhh.....


I now have WEB BUGS? As if viruses weren’t enough, GeeZ!



Definition of Web bugs:Special links in web pages that collect much more detailed information about your online activities than a simple cookie can. The bugs then feed all this information about YOU directly into a database containing tons of other information about you that has been gathered and stored by other Web bugs.
The reason many web sites use web bugs is that it helps track how many people have visited a particular web site or to track what kinds of browsers are being used. Advertisers use them to collect information — about you! — such as what sites you're visiting, the contents of the pages you read, and how long you looked at that page before clicking to another page.
