As usual AOU is technically correct but has the bedside manner of a jackass. I will potentially waste my time but I will attempt to explain ...

  • Poal.co has to set a cookie to track your session so that basic login functionality can work.
  • Websites can attempt to read any cookie on your system, even cookies from other sites. These are known as third-party cookies
  • There are lots of advertising companies that install their own cookies to track you. They sell a service where a website owner can read the third-party tracking cookies on a user's browser and then look up info about the user from the marketing company data base. Because of this there are apps like uMatrix that monitor cookie use and access.

What you are seeing is not Poal.co tracking you but rather the gab.com website reading your Poal.co cookie as a method to identify Poal.co users.

I'd like to nominate this comment for the 2021 Poal Award Show, please.

The Bible tells us we get the government we deserve, not the government we want. is the perfect leader for this website, although not the one any of the users would choose if we had an opinion on the matter, but I like it that way. We have a need for this place in this time. Besides if anyone has too much of a problem with it, they can do what AOU did, and go make their own version with blackjack and hookers, and the people will come or they won't, and if the people do come they will bring problems with them, or start new ones.
