Poll on Omniture

[pecunium]

So I was thinking on the Omniture question, and wondering how much people care.

I also wonder how many people have Omniture cookies. 6A says they will be setting them on 5 percent (1 in 20). But more than that percentage of the people I've seen check there cache, have cookies from Omniture(which doesn't mean those are 6A/Lj cookies.

I didn't even know there were all those other options available (am a bit of a computer dunce). Is opting out via the Admin Panel sufficient, or should I do other stuff too?

It depends on your browser.

In Firefox you can go to the options panel and exclude cookies from specific sites.

I don't know about IE, I only use it for those things which won't open in Firefox.

Opting out at the Admin panel only takes care of LJ. You could run into Optimune through other websites doing the same thing.

I feel rather weird about this whole stat thing. On one hand, I can't fault a person/organazation/business for wanting to gather data that they can use to improve site traffic, usability, etc. On the other hand, I'm not so keen on having my own browsing habits profiled.
