Hi All,
None of the other categories looked like a "fit" for this inquiry, so I thought I would try here.
I visit a website periodically -- sometimes a few times a month, sometimes I'll go months between visits. When ever I go there, within a few hours or a day, I'll receive an information email from the website.
Odd thing is: I've got scores of tools designed to prevent tracking and cookie killers running in the browser. And here's the odd part: I installed another operating system by overwriting my old OS. The same darn thing is happening. I visit the web site, I get an email.
I have contributed to this company before so they would have my email address. I'm wondering if they have database-matched my MAC address to my email address? Or, is there another way to interrogate a visiting browser for an email address?
What strategy could I use to track down and squash this "leak"? Or perhaps you could direct me to a website that may be better for this odd problem? Sure would appreciate any advice or insight.....
