ConsumingTech uses some tracking cookies to note which posts are being viewed and how web surfers are interacting with the content it creates. These stats are useful for trying to run a successful website.
ConsumingTech uses statcounter.com for its tracking cookie. Via ConsumingTech’s account on statcounter.com, it gets access to information such as the number of unique views and total views for the day’s traffic. It also shows the nearest city and the ISP used, and the browser and operating system versions for each visitor [unless they use a VPN]. Moreover, statcounter.com allows us to see the visitor paths (what additional webpages were clicked on our domain) and what download links were clicked, if any. Rarely is this data observed; the data we look at is related to the total views for the day so we can watch traffic trends to better help us understand what content works and when we’re being liked by search engines, et cetera. It is essential data for troubleshooting and business growth.
ConsumingTech uses the Google Adsense advertising network to monetize its website. We have no control over what cookies Google uses for its Adsense program — it is managed and maintained by Google. You can read more about Adsense terms of service. Based on what text is on our site, Adsense may choose to display certain ads to target that traffic. We do not choose which ads are displayed when you visit — Google does. Though we don’t recommend it, we currently allow visitors with ad-blocking enabled to still view our content. In such instances, no Google ad tracking occurs.
There is no other tracking on this site.
