Gigya (suspicious name to start with!) might provide legitimate commercial services to advertising & PII resale entities, but that does not persuade me that the force used to defeat Abine's Blur tracking blocker is justified. With persistence, I seem to have succeeded in re-enabling the tracking block, and still was able to download the ***** HD benchmark tool. The Gigya tracking provides no legitimate service to the visitor.

Read their purposes: "Turn anonymous visitors into known customers with social and traditional registration tools that let you easily authenticate users and collect rich first-party data" "Consolidate social, behavioral, interest, transactional and all other data types into unified customer profiles while maintaining scalability, security and compliance." "Easily query and segment user records and integrate first-party data across marketing and service applications to create a personalized digital customer experience that leads to conversions." - you are tracked, everywhere, for everything.

Tracking. No clear, definitive statement regarding use of PI or sharing. BLOCKED.

Used by several large marketing companies this site collects personally identifiable data in order to help create a profile for customers to help with targeted ads etc. Some comments suggest this is needed on some sites to gain access, but I have not come across any to date.

The fact that javascript originating from this site is used by many others to implement cross-site "social login" strongly suggests identity/privacy risks... consider the data these sites can aggregate and cross-link from multiple sources.

Gigya's Customer Identity Management Platform provides social identity services by turning unknown visitors into known customers. With Gigya’s services, businesses increase registrations and identify customers across devices, consolidate data into rich customer profiles, and provide customized services, products and experiences by collecting data for marketing purposes to provide service. Gigya provides developers with the APIs they need to easily build and maintain registration, authentication, profile management, data analytics and third-party integrations. Some sites want you to login using your google+, facebook, linkedin, twitter, yahoo or microsoft account. This prevents spam and other comment abuse.

Ad/Tracking domain ***** Required for websites that use its sign-up/in and commenting tool.

Sales staff is unreasonably persistent. Do not respond to them if you want them to stop sending sales pitches.

Its need for some websites to work properly. For eg, it displays the comments in pcworld.com.

One comment suggested it was required to log in, but there is nothing on their sales page that suggests anything other than gaining customer loyality through social networking. Since this is a business page, it is not suitable for children.
