Customer profiling

I wish Amazon would start doing some of that... At the top of the amazon main page I have "Get free shipping on all Medela breast pumps and accessories in the Baby store." gee, thanks just what I needed :wtf: James Simplicity Rules!

Have you ever seen one working ? :-) It's one of those issues of privacy I guess, If you filled out a 5 page, form, Amazon could target market you better. So many people seem to think cookies are the devils seed that some companies don't use them at all. Regardz Colin J Davies

I'm all for that, in fact they already design the front page to show the stuff I'm most interested in buying. What I'm against is someone tracking the sites I visit outside of their own site.

Saying company A can't sell info to company B and C etc. One way I think things could be done better is through Anonymous type ID's. So you go through a proxy service type arrangement, that creates a pseudo identity for you. That way you can be tracked, but they don't know who you are. If I have a preference at Amazon for looking at Comp Sci books, I'm quite happy for B&H etc to know that as well. Regardz Colin J Davies

Cookies are only valid for the domain that set them so a cookie won't work, instead they'll have to pass that information another way. In your example I have no problem with that, because I gave that information up. Want I don't want to see is doubleclick start to serving up ads for dwarf porn because they see that I visted a dwarf porn site when it was actually some damn pop-up while um, 'researching' :-O General demographics are okay, 'of our 3 million customers 15% of them have the Comp Sci section in their favorties section. Specifics are bad, 'Customer #2912875 has been hitting the porn sites a lot lately lets offer him penis enlargment cream'. X| I think I've just become the bane of all marketting departments :-P James Simplicity Rules!

Johnson wrote: I visted a dwarf porn site Did you really ? :-) What, I'm suggesting is to eliminate present cookies, and have a type of list of preferences or keywords that websites can target you by. So if you want "porn and Dwarf" on the list they can target you. Also your Identity is just a number thats severed up from a server for your info/profile. Tis info must be editable by the users. The trouble with cookies is we don't know what info they are holding without analysis. Regardz Colin J Davies
