The news of the technological realm since at least the fall has been abuzz of Verizon Wireless’s UIDH “zombie cookies” and the advertising company Turn’s abuse of them, but to be honest I still don’t have a complete grasp as to the science behind them. Most recently Turn has claimed they’ll be backing away from using them which only makes me believe they’ve got another scheme for invading mobile users’ privacy underway.
Does Avast provide protection against these invasive practices? What can be done to secure anonymity while using Verizon’s services?
