I think hexbear has them. Is it a connection thing where cookies spot other cookies? Do tracking cookies matter when it comes to insurance and therapy sites/apps? I'm thinking about therapy that I saw advertised on YouTube, and I bet they're somehow sketchy. And their app requires the use of third party tracking and cookies.

I just don't want these sites/apps to see I'm a communist.

there were two popular images that freaked people out because they SoMeHoW kNeW the users' locations and what browser/app they were using

Oh hell yes that takes me back to the days of gamefaqs and people linking "this user sucks" to the profile of whoever clicks on it

Hexbear's taglines also sometimes display the name of the logged-in user and that definitely freaked me out for a moment the first time I saw it
