What tracker is the Paracast Pop-up for ?

[Charlie Prime]

While web surfing I run a combination of privacy controls to defeat tracking beacons, invasive cookies, and malicious code execution.

Specifically, which tracker are you asking us to allow with this pop-up warning?

We run very normal Web banners on our sites to help monetize the business. Those ads do not contain tracking beacons, invasive cookies or malicious code execution.

Nobody forces you to read an ad you don't like, and you certainly don't have to click a banner. But if an offer does interest you, we always hope you might follow through to see what it's all about.

You can always selectively disable the blocking feature so ads on our sites aren't blocked. That doesn't stop you from using it elsewhere, and I certainly understand the reasons. Indeed, we interviewed someone from a company who makes an ad blocking browser extension on my tech show last week.

I'm trying to find out specifically which of these you want us to let through so you can make money.

Which is the one that pays?

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Google AdSense pays.

Google+, Twitter and Facebook are social networking links, to allow our members to easily share content with their friends.

Aside from the first, none of them have anything to do with banner ads, and none of them will deliver malware, questionable cookies or anything else that's nasty to your Mac or PC.

 

[Charlie Prime]

Done.

I know you wouldn't host malware, it's just that I don't want Twitter & Google tracking my browsing habits.

Thanks man!
