Facebook’s login page now defaults to all spying all the time “Keep Me Logged In.”

If you log in with that checked and you later close the page without explicitly logging out, you remain logged in. Facebook can continue to track your online behavior so they can sell you to the highest bidder.

Furthermore, if you uncheck the box for one login, Facebook rechecks it the next time you open the login page, so that you must clear the checkbox each time you open the login page.

Facebook, no doubt, will assert that they have done this for your convenience.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
