Nice anti-cookie firefox extension

[Klen]

Found this firefox extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...cting-cookies/
What it does,is deleting cookies which was formed during visit of site,so once you close tab they got auto deleted(everything what was formed when using that tab).
Nice way to avoid tracking and cluttering .

oh that's wonderful for affiliates. Another great way we won't get paid

Why would you want to do that?..

What are you doing that you are scared of?....

let's say you were working for awe , they give you something like a 14 day cookie so if said viewer had the block on there and decided to sign up later that day you would not get the sale

This + AdBlock = Nightmare for affiliate webmasters.

So why would we want that under normal circumstances?

Both Firefox and Chrome comes with built-in private browsing mode now which works exactly the same way. It removes cookies, histories etc. as soon as user closes browser.

Some cookies can have malicious nature,so it's better to be safe.Plus im saving hard drive space with it.

I using that already,but this is more effective as it remove them while session is still working.

Hehe, "saving hard drive space".

Another useful use of this,is to check behavior of sponsor link codes,for example i wanted to see difference in link code with full price and link code with reduced price without restarting browser.

ghostery (.com) kills everything

Not all sites set new settings on cookie when you try that.

With the popularity of "private browsing" and ad blockers if that chart was today it would certainly show a greater loss.

At XloveCam.com we encourage all new visitors to register as free members -- that would preserve the affiliate's or the site's "ownership" of that Member's rev-share allocation.

We are discussing other measures in first party "tracking" to replace a lot of cookie functions as well as for Member account identification.

That being said, I still foresee cookies in the future exclusively to be used for website personalization -- their original intent.

Ah, but things are "better than ever!" for the sponsors now getting the sales which were actually generated by their affiliates. Wait till they see what magically happens when the affiliates are no longer around to push their sites for free. Can anyone guess what happens?

Interesting. Many are on mobile as well. Of the people with desktops believe it or not but most still do not use an ad-blocker, incognito, or clear cookies. I bet the numbers now as compared to before are down about 10-25% on average. So it said in 2009 retention was about 50% after 30 days. It's probably about 35-40% now then.

That is probably why manwhich network insist if you want them as affiliate to create link paysitename.com/pornhub , that way even without cookie it's visible from where it coming.
