I know that cookies can be used to track your browsing history. But can websites also access Firefox url history? I currently limit and delete cookies. But It's nice to have browser history available for quicker access and my own reference. But not if it's also a privacy exploit.

Not unless you have something on your system.

Cookies, mean little things. Some are set for years and years and.... Some also send a ping out as soon as your online then the same or others will follow you around and ping the info back, then there are Flash cookies.

You can limit them with uBlock Origin and Ghostory and turn off from at startup SuperAntiSpyWare, it cleans tracking cookies out,

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

This is hugely helpful. For clarification: you say that URL history is not a concern "unless you have something on your system" Presumably that history is stored as a file somewhere. But is it in theory not being accessed or read by tracking efforts?

Also, the article you posted is great, and a lot of it I can transpose to a Windows environment. but if you have a link to something similar for the Windows side of things, that would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for these details. I suspect a person can drive them selves crazy trying to keep up with all leaks. But I am doing my best as I think it's just the right and safest thing to do.
