I have never written a diary before, and this will be my first and last. I am leaving the site. I happened to have my vpn set to a European country where they have much stronger rules on what must be asked about selling info and allowing you to opt out of tracking. Daily KOS has 837 advertising trackers. I just spent a while disabling them all individually. They do not have an option to disable all. They call this legitimate use. There were a number of other user consent ones that could also be disabled. I am not going to be tracked to that extent by what I thought was a decent website. This is basically a fyi post as a warning for anyone concerned about being tracked on this site.

Anyway, I don’t see anyway to access this info unless I am on a vpn from Europe. I am appalled.
