Is webtrends.com Safe?

"online tracking" Tracking all the sites you go to, what you are looking at and doing. Not long ago this would of been called spyware, keylogging, etc and was unacceptable. Call it advertising, hey its all good... No, you can advertise all you want, you dont get to sell my info and make money off me without giving something in return. Blocked.

Folks, please just use other tools if tracking is a bother or somehow threatening. Everyone tracks everybody these days. The site is safe - no malware or other malicious exploits.

Activity tracking for advertising and other marketing. No worse than other similar services. Offers a do-not-track option to opt-out..

ads are how the internet is free. The Microsoft Developer Network (msdn.microsoft[.]com) has ads or content hosted by webtrends[.]com on their Microsoft pages.

Why is Web trends trying to track my browser when I go to my online banking site? This is the most unethical practice I have ever seen. I am lucky, I use Firefox to block all tracking from these kind of people.

This is a legitimate company with a safe website. The poor rating is undeserved, and only due to people voting their dislike for all web-tracking technology.

This site has offered software for web site analysis since the web became commercial! Most of the comments regarding cookies have no clue since about every e-commerce site requires them for shopping ;)
