Make it hard for Google and Facebook to track you (Is it possible?)
If someone, you do not personally know, is all the time following you while you are taking a walk on the street, while drinking a beer with friends in the pub – you name it, you’ll probably became nervous and start to wonder. Who is and what the person wants from you and why they do it? In the virtual world this is unfortunately very normal – even if you ‘should’ not notice it – because tracking you is done in a very unobtrusive way. From time to time you log-in into Google or Facebook or MS … and from then on you can be easily tracked all over the web.
Modern browsers have tabs – they look like little labels that were previously mounted on index cards and are usually found above the browser window (yeah like you do not know what I am talking about 
. With tabs you can open multiple web pages simultaneously hold and switch between them easily. That’s nice but you should remember that all these tabs are part of a single application and ‘communication’ between them exists behind the scene with the help of cookies.
The browser is a single application and the pages you are visiting are setting on your hard drive cookies. They can be ‘first-party cookies’ which are set by the site domain listed in the address bar and ‘third-party cookies’ which come from other domain sources that have items, such as ads, images, buttons etc. embedded on the page. Depending on your browser, you can control which types of cookies you allow, but most of the users are surfing with standard settings which allow all cookies to be set.
Therefore once you identified to a service (Google, Facebook etc.) even if you log-out there will still be a cookie identifying you. By accessing another site which has a Facebook like button on it or which is using AdSense, Google plus or Google analytics the cookie can be read back by their owner (e.g. Facebook, Google) and voila!- even you are not being login they know who you are.
In case you are not allowing third party cookies there are other methods which by using your browser identification (type, version, plugins installed etc.) combined with OS signature and an approximate localization via GeoIP can make an almost unique identifier which has a chance larger than 90% to identify you (also without the use of cookies).
There is much money involved in advertising (good converting advertising) and consequently there has been a lot of effort put in user tracking.
Why would you want not being tracked? No idea. Actually this tracking is mainly used for increasing the user experience while surfing. But if you are a little paranoid regarding ‘privacy’ this ‘big brother’ attitude of large companies in internet might scary you.
Now, one should first of all ask how the two services mentioned here, Google and Facebook make their money, because to operate websites and services daily accessed by hundreds of millions of people, requires a network of data centers distributed around the world. Years ago in 2009 Google has provided some insight into the structure of its network. Only a small computer center has been shown that consisted of 45 containers, each with 1160 servers – these are alone 52 200 computers that run around the clock. The power consumption alone is huge. Such an infrastructure must be financed, of course, and this is by using the data of the users – that being YOU.
Why do they do that?
One way this information is put at good use is for targeted advertising – depending on the interests, passion and personal situation of the user. Also important to say that hardly a company invests money in advertising if it cannot target a pre-defined group of people.
With the information we provide to Google and Facebook by our data (personal information, searches, emails) and behavior (websites we surf, time of day … or night when we go online, locations and their dynamics) they can show us “targeted” advertising.
Follow up on this thematic will come soon giving you practical tips on how to actively influence the privacy of your life in internet.

How To Stop YouTube Videos From Playing Automatically
This article will teach you how you can stop YouTube videos from starting automatically. This thing happens when we open a YouTube video in a new tab to play it later in the near future but it starts buffering and playing automatically. Quit annoying when you are already listening to a song and a new song starts playing in the background.
Well here is a solution for Firefox and Chrome users. There is an add-on and an extension available which can stop this automated start. For Mozilla Firefox the add-on name is YouTube AutoPlay Stopper. Add-on installs without any problem and after its installation you can open as much YouTube tabs as possible without worrying about their auto buffering and playing.
Same in the case with Chrome. Chrome users can use the extension YouTube Autoplay disabled (better search on Chrome Web Store if link doesn’t work). This extension smoothly handles autoplaying of YouTube videos. Once installed feel free to open YouTube videos in the new tab. They won’t start without your permission.
This default playing of videos automatically is good but it is sometimes annoying and very harmful for Internet users with limited downloading or small bandwidth. I hope these two techniques will be enough for YouTubers get rid of this feature.
