Hi,
Phil Agre's excellent Red Rock Eater news service recently provided a
pointer to http://www.bugnosis.org/ for a program to identify websites
with hidden webbugs - devices for secretely gathering information about
visitors to websites including cookie and other personal and technical
information.
I was surprised when the bugnosis software notified me of a webbug on
the DRS site (www.drs.org.uk) pointing at commercial information gatherer
www.thecounter.com. I've searched for the DRS' privacy policy on the
site but am unable to find it. The use of www.thecounter.com's webbugs
requires an agreement to their privacy policy that supports their advertiser's
gathering information from websites.
Perhaps someone from the DRS committee could comment?
Best wishes,
Terry
