I have started getting emails about my retirement plans. Just wondering if anyone else is getting them. Thought it might be due to applying for benefits online or just my age (48). I did not get them till recently.

It would not surprise me. Since other things like department stores know what you like to buy from ordering on line or getting hold of your email address. This is why you have a seperate email address for junk mail. Lol

You can download a program from cnet.com that is named Do Not Track. It keeps facebook, Google, and other sites from tracking all the websites you go to. It's interesting to see how many websites track where you go on the internet. Facebook and Google track everywhere you go.

I also have changed to ixquick.com as my search engine/home page because they don't save your IP address.

This is all very interesting to know. I just applied, it will be interesting to see if I get the same thing.

Thanks for the heads up...

Hugs, Karen
