There is an occasional (or was, I should say) popup asking the user (ie. you and me) if the site can track the users location.Orso wrote:BMW wrote:It happens...

I was saying that that function is not really needed as Google Analytics can do pretty much the same without asking for permission.
Of course, the location saved is simply "a user from this city has visited F1M.com" not "Hieronymus Karl Friedrich from 3 Apfelwg, Freiburg, who uses shoe size 42, and is divorced and has two children, has visited the site"
That is not entirely correct.taxidermist wrote:"Hieronymus Karl Friedrich from 3 Apfelwg, Freiburg, who uses shoe size 42, and is divorced and has two children, has visited the site"
Unfortunately collecting these kind of informations and others, to create individual profiles of users, is exact what Google and other companies are doing
