I use http://lessonslearned.org/sniff . I check it reflexively every so often, as Verizon has at least once re-enabled the super cookie after I had disabled it. That site checks for cookies from other carriers as well.



I find myself cynically wondering, if such a site becomes bothersome to those placing tracking cookies (and the site mentions articles in Wired), how long it would take before they would disable adding them for destinations known to be revealing it?

I guess it could be automated in a small way too, such that if the cookie was detected as being returned to the browser then the site gets flagged and it won't get it again.

Alternatively, only add the cookie when requesting pages from partner sites known to be tracking it.


Super cool thanks. Still can't figure out why I can't connect to HN, but no tracking beacons which is nice.
