Something a bit unsettling

Post by BigA on Sat Aug 23, 2014 1:22 pm

I was just online and going to try to research a payday loan company. I went from Yahoo to their web site and it told me that they do not give loans in my area, but the scarey part was that they had my correct zip code right there at the top of the page.

I use the new version of Firefox, with Ghostery, Adblock Edge, and Better Privacy as addons. Usually the browser asks if I want to share my location and I always decline but that did not appear this time. In addition, I have third party cookies declined, I declined the cookie to this site, and I have "tell sites I do not want to be tracked" checked.

Where am I going wrong, and what do i need to do to fix it?

Ok thanks, but that may be a problem because I sometimes have to have it enabled to do my online class assignments. I will shut it off and see what happens and let you know. Thanks.
