Do Not Track Me

I find this download to be extremely interesting as well as necessary for computer users. I had never considered the possibility of being that heavily tracked in order to receive advertising information. After downloading I surfed the internet as usual. I was surprised to see that Instagram had no one following my actions. Facebook was a slightly higher number at three followers being blocked by the download. However, I was shocked to see that I was tracked most by online shopping. Ebay came up clean, yet the Steve Madden website had about seven people following my cyber actions. I am curious as to whether I can still be followed like that when I enter my credit card information prior to purchasing items on these websites.
