    As you know every way is good for marketing companies to track you and learn about yo

    Terribly sorry for the extended title but that is the title of the webpage. Had absolutely no idea about this information below until I came across it while doing some online research.

    As you know every way is good for marketing companies to track you and learn about your habits, what you like, what you eat, where you shop and how much you spend. So far they were doing that using the keywords you were using to browse the web, the sites you were visiting or your credit card behavior.But thanks to Euclid Analytics, there is now a way to track you within stores using the wifi hotspots and your phone (but only if the wifi is on), here is how.
    There is more information at this link

    You should really turn off your phone’s wifi when you do not use it « OsiMood
    "God, from the mount Sinai
    whose grey top shall tremble,
    He descending, will Himself,
    in thunder, lightning, and loud trumpet’s sound,
    ordain them laws".


    John Milton (1608-1674) in Paradise Lost

    Personally, I have for years. No point in leaving the thing enabled and draining battery power.

    I guess I'm safe as I don't have WIFI-anything on me.
