DuckDuckGo selling data to Google??

DuckDuckGo claims it doesn’t track its users. That claim may be true, because it appears they very cleverly permit someone else to do it:

โ€œDuckDuckGo talks about their privacy, right, saying that theyโ€™re a private search engine,โ€ Granville explained, โ€œand if anybody had 6th grade developer tools, they can go into DuckDuckGo and they will see tracking cookiesโ€ in the siteโ€™s source code.

DuckDuckGo, however, claims it does not track its users. This seems suspect to Granville who wonders just who is getting all the data from the tracking cookies in DuckDuckGoโ€™s website.

โ€œWhat I can tell is they have targeted advertising, and they have two cookies on their site โ€” somebody is tracking you,โ€ Granville noted. โ€œDuckDuckGo may not be tracking you on their servers โ€” which I find hard to believe โ€” but, certainly they are handing that information off to the two other cookies. And who knows what those other companies are doing โ€” which I suspect is Google โ€” and who Google is selling that information to on down the line.โ€
