Bill, wld U plse explain 2 me how snooping devices/cookies on MY harddrive improve YOUR website? This is illogical.
It is not necessary for ANYONE to know where I've been or how often in order to provide me with electronically stored information!!!
I have a website.
I've respect the right of privacy of everyone who visits, by NOT EVEN REQUESTING to install a cookie,
not a single request EVER.
My info gets disseminated just fine.
SO WOULD YOURS!!!
BILL, you have a security leak, NOW. And you are just barely getting warmed up!!!
I submit for your consideration, the following, Bill:
your new webmaster:
1) has been less than candid with you
2) has installed a 3rd cookie, something you may have switched off on your computer
3) has proferred you an less than proper explanation as to why it is necessary withOUT clearing it with you first.
Acceptance of cookies WAS NOT required for access to subscribers prior your new webmaster's appearance on the scene ergo his installation of a 3rd cookie request.
Until about 2 weeks ago,
1)there was only 2 cookie requests, after clicking on your site,
2)and two more cookie requests after logging in w/one's password
BOTH COULD BE REFUSED AND subscribers STILL ACCESS your website.
3)NOW THERE ARE 3 cookie requests upon clicking on your website
3)and 3 MORE COOKIE REQUESTS after logging in w/my name and password.
I suspect your webmaster has more interest in who and what your clients are doing/going/associating with, for his own data gathering reasons.
Please do not allow ANY OTHER PARTY to determine your clients rights to confidentiality and freedom to association if that is their choice.
Remember, those who chose to reveal their association with you, aka sign up with credit card or personal check,
were FORMERLY ABLE to gain access without being required to accept snoop devices on their personal hard-drives.
SO WHAT HAS CHANGED BILL?
I submit that what has changed is
1) your desire to better track your donors and your subscriber's surfing habits.
WHY? because you've changed your agendae from one of spreading information and mutual profiting by same in the gold market to TACKLING GOLD MANIPULATORS
Think about it, Bill.
Neither you nor anyone associated with you has ANY NEED to know or track ANYONE'S private freedom of association information,
Not for:
1) tracking purposes,
2) statistical purposes,
3) solicitation of donations purposes,
4) or any other purpose.
Secondly, there are those who may chose to be le metropole subscirbers who do NOT wish to be associated with GATA. That is their right and privilege, Bill.
Thirdly, there are many who check you out one time with the idea of considering associating with you, who would MIGHT to subscribe, but
refuse to accept cookies as many of us do.
Therefore, you are DELIBERATELY limiting your outreach to only those who are: too dumb to know what cookies are and don't care if they are electronically tracked?
It seems to me that limitations on YOUR part before even getting a chance to sign up for your 2wk trial is SHOOTING YOURSELF in the foot as far as disseminating gold information and your new goal of expanding your outreach inorder to garner a large donor base.
I sincerely hope, the further along you get into this matter of Gold Business, etc., you will come to appreciate the level of INDIVIDUAL PRIVACY required by those of us who affiliate by choice, not only with you, but with the very personal and powerful subject of gold ownership, gold pricing and gold storage. The confiscatory policies of this nation's leadership, and the FRB's corrupt system are only
too well documented to ignore.
To put it another way...
the more successful you get,
the more of a target your individual subscriber becomes to those who excell in the world of dirty tricks, hacker sabotage, etc.
Targeting those who have gold and don't want to talk about it is exactly what you are trying to go after if I understand GATA's mission statement correctly.
PRIVACY ISSUES ARE EXACTLY what is TANGENTIAL to interest in gold. PLEASE, PLEASE remember this, Bill.
BILL, You are a target,
and will become a bigger target the more GATA success you experience.
Why would you want to subject your freedoms of association to electronic targeting by those with questionable motives and needs/instructions from superiors to infiltrate and harm?
I repeat:
there is now a 3rd layer of cookies now that you have SINCE you:
1) improved your website
2) hired a new website master ---what kind of background check or security check did you do before you hired this guy/gal?
3) begun your work with GATA and started soliciting TAXABLE donations?
This new level of invasion of subscriber privacy is NOT necessary,
and needs re-evalutation YOUR VIEWPOINT and the security needs of your subscribers.
So, please again, explain to me how another level of privacy violation improves your website?
I'm deadly serious about security, Bill, you know this first hand.
I have nothing to hide, but I do have things I will not share without a fight. YOU OR ANYONE EMPLOYED BY YOU using electronic means to track my personal exercises of freedoms of association, is unconscionable,
unwarranted,
and counter productive.
I challenge you to BE A CUT ABOVE, BILL.
YOU ARE MOUNTING A FIRST CLASS EFFORT from where I'm observing.
DO THE RIGHT THING! Put a muzzle on your new cookie lovin' webmaster!!!!! You have a lot to lose if you don't reign him/her in NOW!
This is NOT a threat, just experiential observations!
