Goddamned laser sheep are peering out at me from my neighbor's yard. Why doesn't Amazon just get it over with and give them the order to assassinate me already? We all know that's what this is leading up to. They need my gonads to complete their invincible clone army of human-sheep hybrid drones...and we know what's next, don't we? Oh, yes, we know what's next....

Can confirm this; Amazon plants child porn on my computer and bangs my sister whenever I forget to enable noscript.

WHO SENT ALL THESE BABIES TO FIGHT?

You can use a VPN or TOR for anonymous IP, anti-unique identifiers and virtual credit cards that doesn't leave a trace to your name. Judging from your later post you likely know far more than me. Isn't that enough?

As for future precedent, unfortunately there's not much to do. You know there are too much free money in this, there's no stopping it now.

I think it's going to get worse but sloooowly so people like you (and to a degree, me) don't have resources to fight it. For example, Google releases a new microwave that is super cheap with hip features. What's the catch? It will take pictures of the food people put in there, analyze and send to their ad partners, making it even easier for corporations to know what to sell to maximize profits.

That only works on Jack Wynand, it is unlikely GOG will stop the data mining after seeing that phrase.

I'm a little curious as to what is tracking because i run some heavy hitter add-ons and see nothing...

As with the Amazon, they are a massive could services provider which host everything from programming chunks to code snips and web apps.. i myself run a few EC2 cloud services and also have Azure content. Its not tracking.

see images provided.

See above, I explained exactly what it is.

Yes, but you clearly work for THEM so you can't be trusted.

No, he is clearly US, is says so in his Monika...

I don't understand why Alaric.us' post gets low-repped for explaining in lay-men's terms what cloudfront.net does. I found it very helpful (I checked my NoScript settings, I have indeed cloudfront.net allowed and now remember doing so years ago when I found out many sites need it to run and I remember having find out for myself it's a performance monitoring tool).

Not sure what exactly the OP is referring to, but despite the script, amazon also gets his IP and referring website (among other http headers), which basically allows it to correlate his IP to other websites (as in limited fingerprinting) and such track what sites he's visiting. Thanks to cloudfront - which is basically everywhere nowadays - it's quite a nice profile they get.

Edit: Just in case, this all means, if he has an amazon account (or uses one of their services), his IP directly links him to his name.

Well, T.H.E.Y. (and T.H.E.M., they are branches of the same organisation, or they're two names for the same, we're not entirely sure yet, but we're quite certain they're closely connected) do have undercover spies among us. This should be common knowledge, didn't you get that information in your introduction package?

it is well known that GOG is a front for the illuminati.

Source: Me I am a high ranking satanic priest in the illuminati, I even had sex with an alien once.

I am one of those ... Ehm ... Rare professionals. And the rest of my office. ... Yeah, we're almost extinct. Anyway, I have checked where does it in any way connect to amazon or any other third party website and there's no such occurence, the code is fine.

Yup, it monitors how fast the site is running on your computer in order for GOG's developers to identify performance issues. It's also running sandboxed javascript, so it:
a) can't in any real way access your harddrive
b) can't in any way access other tabs in your browser than the ones with GOG open

This information also can't be in any way monetized
