It also includes the optional, opt-in feature called Ghostrank, which sends Ghostery servers anonymous information about the trackers you encounter and where you encounter them. This opt-in allows the creation of a more comprehensive list of detectable items and helps create a more transparent behavioral advertising ecosystem through the partnership with Evidon.Ghostery for Chrome is built and maintained for users that care about their online privacy and is engineered with privacy as a primary goal. Ghostery use is anonymous. No registrations or sign-ups are required. The Ghostery plug-in does not place cookies in your browser. Neither the Ghostery application nor Evidon receives any data from Ghostery users unless the user opts-in to participate in Ghostrank. Ghostrank data itself is anonymous is NEVER used for advertising targeting purposes and is only shared in aggregated, non-personal, statistical form.
