2o7.net van Omniture bespioneert mensen op het internet

Ook 2o7.net van Omniture denkt het recht te hebben mensen ongevraagd te bespioneren op het internet.

Net zoals Weborama wil Omniture het zoekgedrag van mensen observeren en analyseren. Hier wordt mensen niet om gevraagd, en uit onderzoek blijkt dat de meeste mensen dit ook helemaal niet willen.

Wie zegt, dat de mensen die er werken wel te vertrouwen zijn? Wat gaat er met de informatie gebeuren? Een privacy statement kan iedereen zo van een andere site downloaden.

Het is mogelijk, om gewoon de cookies van dit soort firma’s te blokkeren.

Omniture schrijft over zichzelf:
