Lately I find myself using wifi in public spots but I use several methods to protect myself including using a vpn. with that said I haven't accessed any sites like Godaddy auctions or Ebay auctions or Namejet or Dropcatch or Sedo sites yet. For fear that I can be tracked or whatever. Been pretty paranoid about being hacked lately and have someone gain access to my Godaddy or even domain auction accounts. with Godaddy it's both your registrar and your auction.
so to what extent does sites like Godaddy or even Sedo or Namejet to track it's users?
another way of saying this is. How much data do these websites collect on it's users?
AND is there anyway to be COMPLETELY PRIVATE when entering websites like Godaddy or Sedo or Namejet?
Will you get banned or blocked for using say a VPN?
What other methods do you think they use?
The usually suspects are below.
1. IP
2. Cookies auto installed into your pc if you have your browser set.
3. MAC address
4. This new thing called a Super Cookie or aka Evercookie.
As a "regular guy" I would assume the solutions for all the above would be:
1. VPN or IP switcher.
2. Turn off Cookies or just go incognito or use Mozilla but even now this might be obsolete due to EverCookie.
3. Changing your MAC address.
4. But this Super Cookie or EverCookie thing (if Godaddy is using it) seems to be impossible to prevent from tracking you.
5. Oh and of course don't visit any of these sites while logged into your social media accounts since those share info to other websites.
Just paranoid about my privacy. Coming from one who is pretty much has diarrhea of the mouth and is an open book. NOT GOOD.
Is there anything I missed here?
Some insight would be helpful for not just me but for all.
