I was just browsing through some of the stuff you get when you click on "My Gransnet" up the top there

So, be warned.

I think that it only transmits it when you come via a link from the last site, so unless dodgy sites have started adding links to Gransnet you should be still OK to visit them (assuming you were OK visiting them in the first place, of course)

It doesn't say that.

scroll down to Passive Information Collecting

I don't actually go on anywhere dodgy!!!!

Just seems strange that they can do that. I don't mind. Well, I don't think I do.

It doesn't say it collects the info from the site you were on before this one, it says "from the site you came from". It is anonymous, too, so they only know that someone has been looking at pictures of Merlin and hbis magic wand, not that it was you.

When I was webmaster (webmistress? sounds like a female spider about to eat her mate) of a site, I received anonymous statistics about visitors. It said when there was a visitor, time and date, ISP provider, browser, whether they wer new or repeats, and which pages they looked at for how long AND "referring site" that is, any link on another site that they had followed to get to mine. If they had typed in the last site or had it in their favourites/bookmarks that column was blank.

You mean you still visit Grannynet, jingl?

Oops! Sorry, that was meant to be a

No I don't! I was just giving examples.

I don't actually visit the Duran Duran Fan Club boards.

either (left that off)

Elegran! Shush! Stop outing me!

Sigh! Where's Julie tonight?

If you had found a site like that, you would have been posting a link (or would you have kept it to yourself?)

"magic wand"



rude

(or, you might not have been thinking along those lines at all )

Shut up jbf!

Don't all magicians have magic wands?

You were!

I seem to be mainly here or on William Hill and that definitely doesn't have a link to GN!

Don't you bother with it Julie. Have a nice weekend off. It's really not important. I'm just more curious than anything.

Who do you fancy for the King George phoenix? [and will Eagle Top run???]
