AVG's "Tracking attempts" notifications

Anyone can apply the Request/Bug label to their own thread when posting in this board.

If you find bugs or want to provide feedback to the current theme you're using, please create a thread and submit your post like this:

THEME, Explanation, Screenshot, @regack

Please provide a screenshot when possible, as it is difficult to work off of written description; a visual will be easier for us to tackle the issue.
As far as mobile issues go, there are limitations in that ProBoards does not provide a template for modifiying the mobile version of the site.

Proboards uses/links at least five different ad delivery systems ('exponential', 'lijit', 'rubiconproject', 'tribalfusion', and 'viglink') as well as 'bidfilter' which -according to the very first google result- is used to prevent delivering 'malicious ads'.

I'd bet that at least one of those does actually try to track every visitor. My Firefox browser e.g., displays that some tribalfusion and viglink cookies for cross site tracking are blocked automatically. (While others are allowed.)

In short: AVG is correct, but outside of trying to blocking those CDNs*, there is not much we can do about it.

The joys of 'free' stuff. Unless we buy hosting space somewhere not using those CDNs, this is what we are stuck with.

Edit: With 'block' i mean use an addon/plugin in your browser that can block those, or use a browser that supports that from itself.
