Hundreds of millions of web-pages incorporate tracking programs designed to track YOUR MOVEMENTS on the InterNet.
Google is the largest and tracks everyone who uses an unprotected web-browser on the US InterNet. The problem was 'invented' by McNazi$oft when they violated the InterNet Engineering Task Force's security recommendations, as they (more interested in making money than in the public's security while virtually 'inventing' the web-virus problem that anyone who surfs the InterNet using Windows, the world over suffers today). They changed the OpenSource Java language (created by Sun Computers) to store data on users' computers. Sun engineers vehemently argued that doing so was creating a monster problem, a prediction which McNazi$oft has made millions on and has proven to be accurate.
HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language, the first programming 'language' of the InterNet, is not very efficient or practical for generating large data or frequently changing webpages, such as a online newspaper or a magazine. A better language was needed.
Java is a 'broadcast' language, which is broadcasted by the visited webserver and was originally downloaded into the web-browser, which executed the instructions. It is a high-level object oriented programming language that is uses the web-browser to both present information as well collect information for transmittal back to the server. It enables bi-directional data transfer. One example is web-forms.
It is Java Script that enables user tracking and malicious programs to enter one's computer storage via that little McNazi$oft modification. Turn-off auto-downloading of Javascript, there is no more tracking and no possibility of getting a web-virus 'infection'.
It works like this. A user vectors to a website, such as the US Postal Service, and embedded within the US Government's Postal Service web-server code downloaded into your browser, is the following javascript programs (I did not copy & paste all 17, just the first 9):
17 javascript programs downloaded
(These are the actual javascript programs automatically downloaded when anyone visits the USPS website at: www.usps.com/)
- usps.com
- htt.ps://www.usps.com
- googletagmanager.com
- htt.ps://googletagmanager.com
- jquery.com
- codejquery.com
- fonts.net
- fastfonts.net
- akamaihd.net
- akamai.net
List items 1, 2, 5, 6 are javascript programs/hosting servers that do not track user behavior for the purpose of selling that information or sharing that information with third party non-US Government agencies or corporations and are neccessary to enable the US Postal Service web-page 'program' to function properly in your web-browser.
The other list item javascript programs/hosting servers are a different story... I find it unbelievable and offensive that a US Government service would be engaged in such activity. Where is the US Government protecting us in all of this?
All the other list items are javascript programs that are copy & pasted, embedded and-or coded by the US Postal Service programmers or contractors for them. The US Postal Service is being paid by corporate third party tracking interests, such as Google. Almost every website in the US has similar code included for behavior tracking of the public and THEY KNOW PRECISELY WHO YOU ARE. All the data is correllated and inter-related. Cookies are stored (remember McNazi$oft making that little change?) on your computer. Every time anyone visits a tracking website, a cookie search is conducted, searching through all of the cookies stored on your computer and are compared to their corporate cookie list and-or to a channel-partner cookie list, eg, companies and behavior analysis firms who do business with each other, and you can't opt out. That corporate behavior is protected by US Law!
If a cookie is found on your computer that matches a cookie in the channel-partner list, well, they found you and they know you are visiting that website and every other website you visited that matches that cookie, and your behaviors, there, is collected and stored into a remotely located (thousands of them), ever growing large collective database just about YOU! And your freinds, and your relatives, and their friends, and so on, ad infinitum. People have lost their jobs because HR found relationships with other people that they deemed undesirable for an employee to know or with whom to associate.
Cookies are a unique large digit number, that is generated and assigned only once and only to you via your computer. It is a unique digital number 'name' that is generated the first time you visit any new website which is associated with the originating website (via back-channel, channel-partner communication) and is stored on your computer. When and if you delete cookies, each time you visit that website, a new digital name cookie is created and stored on your computer, so as you vector around the InterNet you are leaving a 'cookie trail', that reveals every website that you have visited, every page that you looked at, how long you viewed those pages and it is all going into databases about YOU. The only way you can avoid this outrageous violation of our civil privacy liberties is to disable javascript or, stop surfing the InterNet.
Item 3 - googletagmanager.com
Description from 'Search Engine Journal': www.searchenginejournal.com/what-is-google-tag-manager/159947/
"Google Tag Manager is a powerful, free tool that enables marketers to control digital marketing data by using code snippets on any website. It can be used for conversion tracking, website analytics, retargeting, and many more tracking purposes....gives marketers a code to be placed within any site for website tracking."
What they don't say, because its obvious to them, is that the data that their inclusion of that javascript into a website page is transferred to Google first and then is provided back to them by Google servers. While it is free for usage by third party marketers, the information served to the marketers is first collected by Google from the visited website and then served back to the marketers. And its all about YOU. Its YOUR behavior that Google is collecting, analyzing and selling.. To whom do they sell your behavior information? What you buy? How much you spend? etc? According to the Wallstreet Journal, 2009, the major buyers of user data were the US Police Departments, the IRS, the FBI, etc. The US Government and they are using OUR public money to buy that data!!
Item 8 - FastFonts.net
Description from: ht.tps://www.easycounter.com/report/fast.fonts.net
"Fonts.net is tracked by us since December, 2012. Over the time it has been ranked as high as 362 ~ 399 in the world, while most of its traffic comes from USA, where it reached as high as 194 ~ 221 position. Fast.fonts.net receives about 31.75% of its total traffic. It was owned by several entities, from Linotype GmbH (LINOTYPE1350967), to Not Disclosed of NOT DISCLOSED, it was hosted by EdgeCast Networks Inc. and MCI Communications Services Inc., doing-business-as Verizon Business. While ASCIO TECHNOLOGIES INC., was its first registrar, now it is moved to Ascio Technologies Inc. Danmark - Filial af Ascio Technologies Inc. (of Italy), USA."
Just another tracking program, and this one is by Verizon among others. Apparently listed as it is required by US Law to be identifiable through the InterNIC domain registrar service, while other countries' laws don't necessarialy require that information be made public.

From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akamai_Technologies
Akamai Technologies Inc.
"Akamai Technologies, Inc. is an American content delivery network (CDN) and cloud service provider headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States. Akamai's content delivery network is one of the world's largest distributed computing platforms, responsible for serving between 15% and 30% of all web traffic."
Many website security experts consider Akamai javascript programs to be a form of a web-virus. In fact some antivirus programs block that javascript from downloading into the user's computer due to the growing unpopular public opinion regarding its popping up of advertisements. Yep, this is one of those greedy corporations that ruin our surfing experience.
There are 7 more of these hidden from public view javascript programs, and these, are embedded in the US Postal Service website for tracking the public's usage of that tax payer subsized service. They are tracking us using our money. A few years ago tracking someone required the issuance of a court-order, now THEY are doing it using our own money!!! And without our explicit permission. That's how robotics is altering and redesigning our civilization and how we are being forced to adapt to that roboticization, per my last post.
Even the TEOR ProblemBoard's website code downloads hidden user tracking code, (which I disable using NoScript) namely:
TEOR JavaScript Programs Downloaded Into Your Computer Everytime You Logon and has tracking code embedded in every page of the TEOR!

Taylored just for you, baby!! Things like pricing, or displaying only those things that they know from all the other websites what you are 'trending' for, and the price range that you have been known to previously spend, while not displaying the less expensive versions or other versions at all. Yep, taylored just for you!! People have no idea what their giving away freely of their data, and not working to FORCE THOSE GOVERNMENT CRIMINALS TO CREATE INTERNET DATA COLLECTION LAWS to protect our civil liberties or what it is going to cost them in the future for not doing so!!

Item 8 - cdnviglink.com
The url name suggests that the hosted program provides a 'content delivery network' (CDN) service. Just another form of corporate tracking.
It is difficult to learn what this javascript service program actually does? A few, reasonably credible, websites identify it as being a type of malicious web-page infection virus that actually damages computers and a few cyber-experts detail steps for the javascript program removal from afflicted Windows and Mac OS computers. Beyond that the only website that I was able to find describes the service owner, is EasyCounter, which is a good source of information regarding javascript service programs, eg, who owns the programs, hosts them, etc. They have this to say about the cdnviglink.com:
From: ht.tps://www.easycounter.com/report/cdn.viglink.com
"Cdn.viglink.com is hosted by Amazon.com, Inc."
In Summary...
All of these unsafe program problems can be turned off by simply using NoScript.net. I recommend its usage as I have been using it for over three years now and have found it to be reliable, stable, easy to use, and it renders the usage of the InterNet a much safer experience. Another useful tool for surfing the 'Net anonymously is through the usage of program Tor. Many of the US corporations say unpleasant things about Tor, but remember, it is from them, that Tor is hiding your behavior information.
NoScript is an OpenSource program, created by a group of cyber-security experts and programmers who care about Netizens. The program is given away for free, complete with source-code so that there is no question as to whether the program contains any malicious codes. DO NOT DOWNLOAD the program from anywhere except the NoScript website.
