## Adblocking Extensions ## Adblocking Extensions
On top of the [obvious problem](#the-obvious-problem) mentioned above, there are various technical reasons why advertisement/tracker blocking extensions cannot provide privacy. One of which is the fact that tracking can be done without any scripts at all. For example, a website only needs to know your session ID using a cookie and save all logs associated with that ID. It can then analyize when you visit the website, how long you visited the website for, which page on the website you spend the most time on, what you look at, and so on. Another problem is that a website can just host its own tracking code or [proxy third party tracking code under its own domain](https://gist.github.com/paivaric/211ca15afd48c5686226f5f747539e8b). Just because your adblocker blocks connections to Google Analytics does not mean that you can be sure you are actually "safe" from Google Analytics at all. Even when you are successful in doing so, there is nothing stopping the website from sharing the analytics data it collected on its own with Google either.
