Doug Marley discovers Jack's Google Tracking
Posted: Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:06 amFrom: http://forum.hanggliding.org/viewtopic.php?t=37409
Is anybody surprised? Really? Jack Axaopoulos runs ads on the top of every page and he even inserts ads right in the middle of people's posts. He's been doing that for over a decade (at least). He gets money for those ads that he shoves in everyone's posts. Why would anyone think that Jack wouldn't sell them out to Google or anyone else for a buck?

Duckduckgo did have a tracking blocker, but this has been in use for a long time now.
I know that I could access the HangGliding.org individual adverts and their included pictures just fine before the March 6th classifieds problem surfaced :

After SG 'fixed' the certificatioins, or whatever else he did, I could not access the adverts.
Nothing on my end was changed. DDG (duckduckgo) indicates that this site, including the Classifieds site, has a few of google tracking shitz going on.
Specifically:
pagead2.googlesyndication.com
googletagmanager.com
and another one that is not showing at the moment for some reason.
Both the forum page and the classifieds page have these trackers tracking our moves and likely keystrokes too.
I don't trust google any more than I can touch them, and no one can touch them.
This is seriously discouraging me from coming here again.
