Regarding "other websites can see your data if they are contained in Website A", that's not *technically* correct. Website B won't be able to know your Website A cookies. But it can (and often *does*) know it was included in Website A, and often where in the site it was included. So if part of Website B gets embedded inside 100's of sites, they can store a cookie with a random number the first time you visit one of those sites. And then, when you visit another site, it will check that random number and realize it's you again. Website B can then continue to track you across any site it's embedded in.
Good point - I tried to visualize that with the advertiser animation showing they placed their own versions of the cookies in parallel with the original ones, but it's pretty tricky. Thanks for the correction!
I dropped social media, and I know a lot of my other activity is still tracked online, it did make me feel less anxious getting rid of facebook/instagram/telegram. Just a few fewer things tracking me and also fewer things making my phone addicting. I’ve noticed my anxiety around my phone has decreased since getting rid of social media. Not sure if this is right for you too, but it worked for me :)
He said on RUclips :P If it helps anything, with FireFox and FF-based browsers you can opt to block third-party cookies (may break some website, though I haven't had it happen to me even once in years); this will block all advertising and pixel-based tracking cookies Also, you can set it to clear cookies on exit, but you can add domains to a "whitelist" that _are_ stored normally; for example you can keep those of some websites you'd like to stay logged in as but any others (inc trackers that you don't know of) are cleared on exit every single day! ^ these two settings will help a ton! Well against everything not fingerprinting...
It’s great that thanks to the EU websites have to ask whether to use cookies or not. I just wish that I could globally tell my browser never to accept non-essential ones. It’s pretty annoying doing it every time…
What’s up with Instagram tho? Every time I go to the website through my browser, the only option there is to “allow all cookies”. Am I missing something?
I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being used in things like companies' training courses for online safety. The quality of your videos was already high, but this one is though the roof
this was a very insightful video. as much as i hate cookies, i feel dumb for never trying to look deeper into it. it amazes me how these people managed to create something very useful, see its potential as a very profitable exploit, and decide unanimously that the internet was for the people, not for money hungry companies. you would wish more people were like this but so is the point of your end talk, it gave me hope for the future. thank you
I was very surprised while researching this, I went into it expecting to just hate on cookies. Admittedly, this is also the first time I had ever looked into it. I was also surprised how DEEP I had to go to find a lot of this stuff, like reading public chat logs from 1995, interviews with people that have only 100 views, reading newspaper articles from forever ago, like this wasn't in the Wikipedia page at all, nor in any other article I've read about them. I'm really glad people are already responding well to this video, because this has been in the works since early September haha
@rejectconvenience I am very happy i discovered your channel. you certainly put a lot of time and effort in your research and it shows in the quality of your videos, i was fascinated to see so many references and resource linked in the description of your videos, most people dont bother with such things. I wish your channel continues its upward trend, you discuss important topics that are so etched into our daily lives we simply do not bother to understand more about. The more people know about them (even if they dont do much about it) the better. your work is very valuable, and i hope it brings you value in return too.
When i was little i somehow came under the impression that cookies was slang for boobs. So anytime a website warned me about cookies i just thought they were warning me i may see boobs, which i thought was weird, cuz it was on SO MANY SITES. Eventually i actually stopped and thought about it and figured out that was NOT what it meant, but it took me an embarrassingly long time. I still dont know how i came under that impression.
Having more people switch to browsers like brave (and having better, more hardened defaults on Brave or Firefox) will help us all blend in better with larger numbers. If there are enough people blocking fingerprinting, we are far more anonymous in numbers.
I like that when I started making my own website and taking part of the web revival, these videos started appearing on my feed. I hope more people would be aware on how crucial this movement is. Take control of ya'll privacy and works--you deserve better.
Talking about fingerprinting, I was made identifiable as a group of mere thousands of users simply because I had British English as one of my browser's display languages.
Destin from the channel “smarter every day” has a really good data privacy 3 part video series if you like that type of thing! It’s really well made, Destin does really neat work
It has certainly been frustrating, being one of those "paranoid" people who was aware of roughly how much was possibly being identified about me, and for ~20 years I've been "paranoid" about my personal info. The worst part, is like you said, I can still be identified through anyone I interact with, and by what information they DON'T receive from me. Thankfully I regularly try to find myself or my info online, and have been signed up to haveibeenpwned email alerts for nearly as long, and these days I can almost never find anything about me at all save a few posts from my early years on a blog I no longer have access to (and doesn't reveal any info anyway, though it does have my face) and I'd rather they have to infer than have concrete data at least.
This rocks. I understood the basics of how cookies worked and that third-party cookies existed, but this video really broke it down in a way I could grasp. Awesome stuff.
Typically, cookies don't contain actual user information or cart contents, they just a session ID, with the actual data stored server-side. Also in the early days it was pretty common for websites to put the session ID into the URL instead, and some software (such as phpBB) will still fall back to this behavior in some circumstances.
My undergrad thesis is actually about fingerprinting and I'll help us discover browser APIs that are being abused for fingerprinting out in the wild so that mitigations can be developed.
Manmade horrors within comprehension, but outside of my willingness to stay in my head. Would be better if it all were real cookies, internet would be an amazing place.
This video explains how cookies are given to websites, but it doesn't explain how websites get the information for fingerprinting, as if it was immediately obvious where they get the data from. you could've explained that with a little more detail.
I wouldn't be surprised if fingerprinting were to get its own video in the future, but he didn't wanna promise that video without it already being some amount of the way through production
@@CorruptedKarmaCookies and fingerprints are not the same. Fingerprints aren’t text files the website downloads to your browser. Instead, fingerprints are obtained by, for example, a website using an image to test how your hardware performs when it renders it.
Just realized your channel has 21k (which is an awesome achievement, do not get me wrong), but with the quality of your videos I thought you had 200k or smth! Really high quality stuff, love your editing style! Keep it up man!

I especially appreciate the hopeful notes you bring to the table, it's kind of demoralizing sometimes seeing what the state of the internet is.

I’m glad I found this channel. Last night I watched your dumb phone videos and really related to them since I about a month ago just quit social media (well, aside from RUclips if you count that). Social media just wasn’t something I could really handle anymore and needed a break. This channel has got me thinking about what other tech/lifestyle rebalancing I might get up to. Thanks for the encouragement around learning about tech and learning about healthy habits when it comes to tech.
we need more uplifting realism online instead of doomerism dominating every corner of the internet. like yeah, it sucks sometimes, but there's still plenty we can do about it, it's not 100% suck.
I think my drunk old neighbor said it best: "Tracking me? Why should I care, they're just gonna see me having a good time, kissing girls, playing video games and sleeping. What are they gonna do with that information?"
Yet another informative video. Thank you for providing this information and for providing the historical timeline that got us to where we are today with such tracking mechanisms. Keep at it, A.
Ayyy looks like last week was a good time for me to stumble upon your videos! I think tech can be daunting and kind of scary for the layperson, so thank you for explaing it so calmly and concisely in your videos. Ending it on a more positive note makes me want to figure out how to make my own website! (As someone in her 20's, yes, I am also kind of a dunce)
Subscribed! This is more entertaining than the many online college courses I have taken. Passed them all but they're prerecorded lectures from a year or two ago. And you said it best, "Tech has always moved fast." I saw the previous vid you did that you mentioned in this one as well. Honestly web development is better done the hard way through JavaScript, PHP and SQL than the with Wixx. Wixx is like building a house with A.I. bots. It couldn't be secure, because they'd have the data to reverse engineer the architecture..... YOU KNOW THAT DAY IS COMING!
Signal uses phone numbers, which already contains some infotmation about a person. Proton is guilty of logging IPs, and probably more, and giving it to the authorities, with the latest one being a french activist in 2021, if my memory serves me right. Not to bring the video down - the quality is superb! But there are no fully private services left. If anyone wants to be private, then they have to set up the network themselves. Briar, Matrix, and Session are fine from what I heard, but more search is needed
Signal no longer uses phone numbers. Proton didn't exactly log IPs until the swiss authorities made them for that one user (they already had info on them, this just helped them build a case) but true that they do log IPs to some extent, but this is far far far better than the alternative of logging anything and everything you do. Matrix has it's own privacy concerns (iirc DMs could be sometimes read by owners of a domain), and briar seemingly offers nothing over competing apps other than the admittedly cool (but gimmicky) bluetooth option. You could theoretically just use simplex instead. Anyways the goal isn't perfection, that might be impossible, the goal is to maximize privacy but not at the cost of everything else.
@@ThompYTto my knowledge, you are still required to attach a phone number to your signal account, but you are no longer required to share that number with people. You do have to turn that off explicitly, though. Not quite the same as "not using a phone number," but miles better than it used to be.
@@kitlith it's used as a password and a bot detterent, it's not "using" it as an identifier of an account. If that was an issue then anything that uses a password would be a privacy concern according to you
I really really love this video. Privacy is a huge deal to me. I'm a tech lead and I know first hand how much insight advertisers have into too much of our lives. I love the internet, but my perspective has shifted a LOT over the last several years. Seeing this video reminds me that there really are people that are and can make positive changes, and I love the reminder that we all have power here 😊
Incredible video! Amazing graphics and the message at the end hit home. Make something you're proud of, do something you love, share your skills and help others. The WWW is free, so we should be too! Didn't think I would be getting emotional over a video about cookies but here I am.
netscape had such a wonderful and responsible team, it makes me so happy to learn about a company that cared so much about making something for the people- not greedy companies. it's very sad they went under, but i'm sure its something they can all be very proud of looking back on. this video gave me so much more respect for stuff like this, great video!!
im learning how to code with java and css, and cookies are really, really helpful for development. Im currently trying to make one of my extensions (dark mode for a website) remember what value the user wanted the background to be with a slider. im using a cookie to remember where they put that slider, which i found extremely cool!
Yeah, that's the way they should be used and the intention they were created with. Didn't stop sillicon valley from abusing it to gain info they shouldn't have, and since law moves at a turtle's pace when compared to the internet, it's not illegal to do so although very morally dubious.
Hey there reject convenience I absolutely love your videos!! Especially the animation style ones can you keep making the animation style ones can you keep focusing on the animation style ones I absolutely love your animation design especially when you wanted to demonstrate how things work back in the day you brought out an old Windows 95 computer good detail keep working on those animation videos please don't ever leave them🎉
Wow, I had no idea that AOL used a separate Internet protocol. I always thought those AOL keywords that PBS shows gave you were just a convenient shortcut for you to enter in your browser so you wouldn't have to type the full Internet address.
Bluesky, Mastodon, the Fediverse, Signal, Neocities, Mozilla, etc. Just a couple of names that are advocating and fighting for open, decentralized and private internet again, like it was meant to be from the start, I know the light is on the horizon and we are getting steps closer to it
Depends - for making these videos, Pop_OS for the stability (though I am considering some other options). I do test a lot using ProxMox, TrueNAS, etc. and I do a lot of RHEL at work
damn so the cookies at LEAST give you the option ok now how do I block websites from seeing how many refrigerators I have plugged to my phone in my cliff top residence
Choosing not to try and block the fingerprinting because it will make you stand out as the word one seems stupid. Instead convince your friends to also try and stop the fingerprinting
You said you don't use cookies on your website. I am supper interested in how you handle account stuff on the forum? Validation, "remember me", things like that. It looks like it's using PHP which is my main language so this information would be super useful to me.

I may have missed a train, but I didn't miss this video :>
Just wait until you try digging into “Legitimate Interest”. That one boils my blood.
Wow, I had no idea that AOL used a separate Internet protocol. I always thought those AOL keywords that PBS shows gave you were just a convenient shortcut for you to enter in your browser so you wouldn't have to type the full Internet address.
Great video! Keep up the amazing work!
Bluesky, Mastodon, the Fediverse, Signal, Neocities, Mozilla, etc.
Just a couple of names that are advocating and fighting for open, decentralized and private internet again, like it was meant to be from the start, I know the light is on the horizon and we are getting steps closer to it
dig that aspect ratio 🔥
I question myself about if companies are doing something suspicious with my personal data...
back in my day we called them trackers and knew exactly what they were doing
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me 🍪
You made me realise how little I know about technology, thank you. (^-^)b
I'm still kinda skeptical, about "I only accept essential cookies"
Like, couldn't they still be using it, to be tracking personal data?
Funny aspect ratio
Ok, I like this channes. It has a PythagoraSwitch vibe🐧🐧
Another absolutely peak video
Based Linux user
Wait what distro?
Depends - for making these videos, Pop_OS for the stability (though I am considering some other options). I do test a lot using ProxMox, TrueNAS, etc. and I do a lot of RHEL at work
@@rejectconvenience RHEL is good, just wish it was a bit more available. Rocking Alma Linux rn
My mom was right! Too many cookies are bad for you. :(
i feel smart seeing those videos
keep it up! :]
8:01 "stupid windows, this is why i use linux" felt
Amazing vid. Underrated
you're like a better Noodle, i like that!
found a gem
damn so the cookies at LEAST give you the option
ok now how do I block websites from seeing how many refrigerators I have plugged to my phone in my cliff top residence
great video but i wish you had named it the success disaster recipe of the cookie
Love your content
Meanwhile, I have to write legally-compliant privacy policy in 4 languages I don't know because my small silly site uses cookie for language setting.
cookie video dropped, pog
Mozilla is based
Choosing not to try and block the fingerprinting because it will make you stand out as the word one seems stupid. Instead convince your friends to also try and stop the fingerprinting
You could do a ted talk on online privacy ❤
I would love if you made a video about AI services and why big companies (like google with its AI gemini) are trying to push it on people etc
You said you don't use cookies on your website. I am supper interested in how you handle account stuff on the forum? Validation, "remember me", things like that. It looks like it's using PHP which is my main language so this information would be super useful to me.
Great video i just installed signal. And dont act like i didnt see you warpped the overlay to curve over the monitor that was clean.
I need a video about "The Advertisers"
8:16 no me esperaba a Antonio Banderas aqui
I said I would sub if you made this video. Well, a deal is a deal
