I don't have Verizon but I have opted out of the cookie exchange (my term for tracking) on AOL. Nor do I ever let any app have my location. It's almost impossible to keep ahead of the trackers though.


Verizon, which has 135 million wireless customers, says it is will share the identifier with “a very limited number of other partners and they will only be able to use it for Verizon and AOL purposes,” said Karen Zacharia, chief privacy officer at Verizon.
:rofl::rofl:


Verizon users are still automatically opted into the program.

I thought this stuff was illegal. Why are email rules so much more stringent than cyber-spying rules? :confused:

I'm sure any laws covering it just say that they have to allow you to opt out - which they quietly have.

Thanks for pointing this out.
