The only device I use to browse B&B is my aging PC, Phil.I'll bet you 3 dozen donuts that the information/data used by B&B is a heck of a lot less than the mobile device itself that you use to browse B&B!

Methods have certainly changed, but data collection harkens all the way back to Cain and Abel.It’s funny you think that there ever was
My only concern is that someone, somewhere knows that I like Lilac Vegetal and could someday blackmail me with that information.And whoever said it above is absolutely correct - what your cell phone is taking from you is far worse. And those 100 apps you use on your phone that you agreed to their TOU to mine your cell phone data.
What do we have here? Email and bday (if you even provided that, or the correct one). That’s it. Following you around the site to see what threads you view so you can be shown a shaving cream ad or a throwing axe ad is nothing compared to what you unknowingly submit yourself to every single minute of every single day just by picking up and using your cell phone, tablet, PC, whatever other electronic device you use.
A lil pop up saying “hey we use cookies” is a blip on the radar. Small potatoes.

I've got a bit more relaxed attitude about it I suppose. I do have a Google device for Spotify playback in my bar area. Personally speaking, and not applying my circumstances to anyone else - if Google wants to listen to me tell my wife that my butt itches, I'm pretty ok with that.I will not allow Alexa or Siri into my home. I'm so paranoid I won't even activate the voice command feature on my Dish remote.
Dang, you found me out, Phil.My only concern is that someone, somewhere knows that I like Lilac Vegetal and could someday blackmail me with that information.
