Legal Spyware?

Since when did Spyware become legal or socially accepted?

This is what I learnt today, in my advance Computer class.

If you see any of these logos or like on a website, they placed a tracking cookie "Spyware" on your computer with out asking or telling you first.

These aren't the only ones who do this, there are the most popular and, hardest to get rid of.

you should always clear your browser, then close it, then reopen it before going to another site.

this help assures that you are not followed. but with these three and a few others just clearing your browser doesn't get rid of their tracking cookies. you also have to clear the browser's content settings

this is where these three place their tracking cookies. Also if you use private browsing this doesn't stop these three from placing that tracking cookie they are violating the trust rules that should be law.

I usually use Chrome and i know how to get rid of these spy ware cookies I haven't figures out how to rid these from Firefox I asked them they said just use Private browsing. I tried to explain to them that they are violating that rule and placing them anyway. they said they would have to look into that. if they find that I'm right then they will adjust their browser settings. You can't remove the spyware cookies in Internet Explorer or Edge, they stay until they expire which is very stupid of Microsoft.

I looked at Facebook's spyware cookie and it didn't expire until 2050, Twitters expired a year from the time it was placed. Google+ had no expiration date.

Then sites like these place these type of cookies on your browser and locally on your computer. they follow you everywhere. even to your online bank accounts, email accounts, credit card accounts they see it all your account numbers your passwords your balances, your expenditures, where you shopped. They use this information for whatever reason they wish. they usually sell this information. They also sell and/or give this information to The US Government, Canadian Government and others.

The only place on earth that is trying to stop this is Europe but, it still happens there.

Here are the steps to clear this type of spyware. I know some people may already know this, but some people don't and should know.

The below image shows the three sites i visited. NOTE: I did not sign in I only visited their main page then went to the other.

This is what pops up when i select clear browsing history
Yow see that i have everything checked except for passwords I also have selected the beginning of time which means it should clear everything. but it doesn't

After i cleared the history i get this page. You see the button Content Settings? you need to click on that next to clear the spyware cookies that weren't removed when you cleared the history.

This is what you should see after clicking the content settings button. now here is where there is a problem with asking google not to do things and it does it anyway.

See where it says allow local data to be set. I have that unclicked but it stores it anyway

I always block third party cookies because they are usually used to spam your email accounts with unwanted ads, and other junk.

You should click on All cookies and site data next.

This here is where the tracking and spyware cookies are hiding that are not removed when you clear your browsing history.

See all the google cookies? everything between Facebook and Twitter and three after twitter are all Google cookies. Everything that says local storage, means its stored on your computer also..

In my next posting I'll show you how to find and, remove them also. Its not hard but takes around 30 minutes of your time. When I found them on my computer there were 460 thousand units of data

around 190 GB of data total stored on my computer with asking me or telling me before it was stored.

This should be illegal worldwide.

Thank You, I hope you found this information I shared with you helpful.
