Elliott C. Back: In Aere Aedificare

Amazon.com Tracking Pages

Posted in Computers & Technology, Law by Elliott Back on October 25th, 2005.

Amazon.com is tracking all of its pages with a unique embedded identifier in the footer:

<!– whfhkE05658FO84R0lbTlBW+NOVDWu2Wmu+L –>
<!– whfhtrMHSy1yzbzpsbkGb2rjgSD7wcnWd31m –>
<!– whfhj2bIFwQfRrGe3/jOsxEgoPn7LyfqVsY+ –>

This changes every time I refresh the page. The probable reason for this is completely unknown for me, unless they want to correlate page-rip-off with a specific access time and ip address.
