Hunt you down...

Believe it or not all the trackers listed in the screengrab above are from a blog.

Yes a blog.

Now I know for a fact that the blog owner isn't tracking people who visit their site.

So who is?

Ad serving networks and their ilk.

People have often criticised advertising for not always being honest. And yet it generally is.

Automated, programmatically controlled and served banner ads however are a whole difference story.

They're like the tech equivalent of a 'hunt you down' Liam Neeson movie.
