Is skimresources.com Safe?

The domain belongs to Skimbit Ltd. Visiting the site gives a voluntary redirect to Skimlinks. Google-searching "Skimbit Ltd" gives ***** as the #1 result. Visit ***** to get their rundown on the tech. Bottom line: "Whenever someone clicks on a product or brand-related link you’ve created, Skimlinks automatically turns it into its equivalent affiliate link on-click. The user experience isn’t affected and the destination remains the same." Make your own decision. I am trusting until I see credible evidence of current malfeasance.

I've had to deal with seeing tracking cookies and the like containing lists of websites you've visited before, and even passwords you've used... Tracking cookies are BAD (when used for advertising), and I don't want my data used in any such way. The whole idea of tracking cookies is to get information on the consumer; the thing is that they'll use ANY means to do that, even inethical means such as website tracking (which they easily can do with JUST a tracking ID). NoScript and AdBlock are great at blocking this junk. :)

There are plenty of sites that provide ads that do not have such low ratings. Furthermore, that information you gave is false. Pretty much any website can read any cookie. They come with third party cookies enabled out of the box. But, even if that weren't true--any type of tracking is bad, no matter who gets the information. If this thing keeps any track of what websites I have visited, it is violating my privacy. If I didn't have adblock on (a vital security tool with the unsafe ad provider model), I'd have given this a rather poor rating myself. As it is, I don't know, and I don't care. But your description isn't good. Also, I don't know why people seem to think that we care if sites go away that use crappy ads.

I agree with XJDHDR comment but, I'm still going to block it because it is an ad and I don't like ads. Enough people will browse the site's without something like No Script so they can buy in. Besides that the site I spotted this on (windowssecrets.com) already has some of my money from a lifetime subscription.
