An article in the latest weekly newsletter from RGCS of Edinburgh, has an alarming headline, “Forget Hacking, What About Tracking?”
I found the content even more alarming than the headline was hinting it. I cannot adequately summarize the content here other than to list the paragraph titles. I’ve provided the link to the article below and I strongly recommend that you read it. In the meantime, here are the paragraph headings:
- Why are we being tracked?

- How are we being tracked?
- Tracked by mobile apps.
- How to avoid being tracked.
- Incognito mode / private browsing.
- Private browsers.
- Private extensions for browsers.
- Will using a VP{N stop you from being tracked?
- Other privacy tools.
