I'm getting a little sick and tired of websites shipping their customers through tracking sites like www.anrdoezrs.net without their knowledge or permission. Go ahead and keep using Woot if you want, but I for one think privacy is more important than a few good deals. Shame on you Woot, you had a good thing going here, but you ruined it by farming out your customer's privacy.

My advice is don't use Woot unless they change their policy about redirecting through tracking sites that chew up your privacy.

I can't recall I have ever been directed to Woot.com by going through an ad server. At least by going to Woot.com directly.

If you are using Wootalyzer, then stop using it if it bothers you. The trackers are not affiliated at all with Woot.

And if you are talking about Deals.Woot, they are trying to turn a profit on the site. They have to make money from it somehow.

Its not a tracking that invades your privacy, its so that woot gets a commission on your purchase.

If you dont like such advertising, get off the internet because al this doesnt run for free.
