> Are you telling me and to the HN audience that you don't use the data "that every browser sends to every server", analyze it, try to get unique users out of it, try to gather interest, browsing behavior, a lot of other stuff and sell it to advertisers?

That's pretty much the definition of "cookieless tracking", isn't it? Feel free to read my original post.

This is spelled out quite clearly here: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=186325668085084

Yes, it is.

"We will keep aggregated and anonymized data (not associated with specific users) [...]"

Ok. So you partially confirm my point. You DO track users. But you say you don't keep the information associated with "y0ghur7_xxx", but with user_id:389472984. At least on the FAQ. The privacy policy is not so clear.


user_id:389472984 isn't anonymized. Aggregated and anonymized data means, "gender:male ages:18-34"
