Apparently some websites do honor if I don't want my internet use to be tracked and other websites don't. How do I know which website is tracking my use and which isn't?

Best is to check the settings for third-party cookies.

You can allow third-party cookies only from visited domains or disable them entirely, but that can cause problems with some websites.

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"

You can set the network.cookie.thirdparty.sessionOnly pref to true on the about:config page to make third-party cookies behave as session cookies that expire when Firefox is closed.
