new YOUTUBE tab

... the URL of the page being viewed is sent to Youtube as part of the HTTP Referer string so they know the page i am viewing
... Referer: www.abovetopsecret.com...

VirusGuard is correct : YouTube (aka Google) will know you've come from www.abovetopsecret.com... because of the referrer string ...


But to be fair Google already know that, unless you've cleared your Google Analytics cookies before clicking on the YouTube button.

Here ya go!
Lightbeam for Firefox

Help y'all grow a li'l more paranoid, maybe xD

Lightbeam basically shows you the relationships between first and third party sites you visit...

Not that I really care, and I don't think it has a bearing on the concern of the OP but, I haven't even visited youtubes and there is already a connection between ATS and YT... meh...

Given the unusually high level of paranoia in here it was optimistic to expect the people here to login to Google/YouTube , as doing so could give away their real identity.

in fairness to SkepticOverlord and ATS they have not deleted this thread, banned me or gave this thread a lead weight so credit where it is due.

The thing is that if sites like this don't embed google scripts all over the place then Google puts them on page ten of any search results pages. it's how they push out compertion who won't play ball and if sites don't promote the NWO view that google likes then again they end up on page ten.

Make no mistake these personal search results are all about soft censorship but they are not so daft as to make it too obvious and do let the odd one or two slip past else everyone would be on too them.

ATS also uses ajax.googleapis.com and Google.fonts which could be hosted by ATS instead because a lot of members here will block these domains and that might break the site.

I don't trust Alex Jones because he goes on about being watched and yet has google spyware all over his site.

We've repeatedly stated, many times over the years, that we don't keep server logs. We also stated it in our Privacy Policy, linked at the bottom of every page.

This part...
The non-identifying aggregate information is not stored on any server owned by the Websites as we do not collect or store any log files of activity on our websites. Instead, we employ the Google Analytics software (which does set a cookie) to obtain traffic analysis data.

It's generally accepted best-practicies to not host these files on your website domain, since a massive majority of websites use the files, and nearly everyone has a locally cached version.

Yup. That means when you visit ATS, and our page uses an API/JS from Google, it pulls the local copy from your computer's cache… not Google.

Ok, then who put subscribe to bulll# on my YT account? Google?
