Then have the tricky links there

No, not really Stomp.

It's the cookie merchants who get you.

It's the cookie trail you leave behind. I've found that if I search for a perticular item, then the cookie merchants see your trail. Then they tailor their emails to the things you've searched for.

They see your isp, they can associate your isp to your email. They definatly know your IP address. What's left ?

All you can do is restrict your thrid party cookies.

Better yet, don't click on hyperlinks you don't know , restrict thrid party cookies, and don't go to sites reffered from anyone . Even GOOGLE ?

As an addon Stomp ...

Setup a secondary email (YAHOO, HOTMAIL . etc ...) and use it as your public email. Use it as if it was your primary email. And don't give out your real home Email to anyone except to family and close friends.

Better still Avast has a virtual desktop and browser function along with a virtual environment (Sandbox) to run suspect software.
But what I,m getting at is the various methods being tried on us, boot them all off!!!!
Can't say who it is but if you hunt about you will find them too
