[Plugin: ShareThis] Not stoked about the MySpace cookie (3 posts)

    I noticed that the ShareThis plugin leaves a cookie from http://trgc.opt.fimserve.com/; it looks like this is related to ad tracking from MySpace. I doubt it's malicious but it's not some I want associated with my site.

    Just thought I'd mention it. Moving on to Sociable...

    Just noticed this too. With each page load a request is fired off to:

    http://trgc.opt.fimserve.com/fp.gif?pixelid=xxx-xxxxxx&atad=your_page_url&rnd=xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx

    Which means I'm not the only one getting my analytics data -- it seems I'm sharing it with Fox Audience Network too.

    No thank you, ShareThis, this is not on. I'm removing it from my site right now.

    I'm a U.S. based photographer and a friend living in Germany told me he couldn't access my site because this ShareThis/firmserve was making it hang. Needless to say, it's been removed. Same thing with the PicLens plugin. On to Sociable as well. Thanks
