Answer 1

I hate that practice, nomatter what good reason they have, i very much like my privacy on the internet. So I use Tor browser and loaded my default Firefox with addons, like self-destruct cookies, betterprivacy, disconnect and many more, if these addons work as advertised, I am free from tracking of my web surfing activities by not so nice companies and individuals.
