Each time you visit a page on the Internet, there is a good chance that a service on that page is tracking you. Below is a listing of some of the common ways a web page will track you when it isbeing viewed. To view and optionally block the services that are tracking you, install Ghostery. Ghostery is a free tool that displays all tracking services and gives you additional details about each service. The picture shows an example of a Ghostery window for the CNN website, which has eight services tracking the visit, however, six of the services have been disabled.

How a website may track you

Most sites collect analytical data using services such as Google Analytics to help the owner of a website understand how their web page is being used.

Sites with share buttons from Facebook, Google+, and other social networks also track each visitor that views the share button or a social network plugin. Users logged into these social services can be tracked and also share the pages through the services.

Many advertisers such as Google (DoubleClick) will track where their advertisement banners are displayed.

Hundreds of other services that monitor traffic, brands, patterns, mobile, etc. for research and advertisers.
