    Amazon is not your friend. If in DADT and wanting an echo device instead of using spotify or other streaming service, the shop at locations other than Amazon. Amazon has changed since Jeff left and is starting to use the information it collects.

    Want to be scared of 1984? See how the tech companies have now ganged up and are working to embed user and location data into photos and other data sharing files, like docs, spreadsheets and PPT presentations.

    Tech can be scary. I have bought perfume, bras and panties at JC Pennys and Kohls on-line, to pick them up at the drive up.
    If those stores are shopped on-line by my wife, they know Candy and my wife are related, even though I have a dedicated debit card for Candy only.
    I believe they know by the IP used though our internet provider and/or thru a credit rating service.
    I might have gave a birthday and the store might use that info to suggest to my wife, in an e-mail, it is Candices birthday!
    Last time she bought these bras and perfume, you may want to send her a gift!
    Not knowing who Candice Kowal is...she might google the name and find pictures of her husband in drag below her favorite wall hanging!
    I am pretty out there in cyber space.
    So if you do "ANYTHING" with a computer as your feminine self, you better be ready to be outed.
    Though I am in a DADT relationship, I know she is not dumb...and I am not very smart.
    I am ready to accept that fate, whatever happens, good or bad....are you?
    Candice Coleen Kowal ....all my friends call me Candy!

    I didn't realise that tin foil hats were a crucial part of the crossdressers wardrobe.

    Tin foil hats? No, certainly not. Tin foil bras? Oh yeah!

    My wife's hinted that she's seen ads that seem targeted to my interests. We do not use the same computers or even the same operating systems. All we share is a common DSL line. Apparently that is enough to link us.

    Thanks for the tip Charlotte. I'm not DADT but I turned off all notifications, except delivered. Though my wife is generally tolerant of my occasional CDing, I prefer to minimize flaunting it unnecessarily.

    I have a couple personal computers and a work smart phone and laptop. For a long time I tried to keep them separate. Next thing I start getting cross dressing stuff on my work computer. Only connection is using my home WiFi. I gave up and just clear cookies often. No clue how they connected the two. Never did work on my personal and never personal stuff on my work computer.

    We are Prime members but seldom use Alexa for anything. If I want to order I go online and order from my computer. I am in a DADT and try to be very cautious about my online presence. When I browse as Molly, I use Firefox and a private page. It's not foolproof but is is a layer of protection as far as browsing history, etc. I have separate email address for Molly and only open it through the private window. I do find that the private browsing on my tablet or phone don't seem to work quiet as well. For me, its pretty much one way to access and clear everything when I am done.

    It's simple. Your IP address is unique and for example one tracker, FB,collects more than 50 data points about your usage. They know the email addresses used on this IP as well as all connected wifi devices. Just matching A with a, and B with b, etc. Some trackers even share data with others.....
