Re: Anyone know if this news is true ? Airtel spying ...

Most internet intermediaries (read Airtel, Google, FB etc.) want to get
access to user data and sell that in the name of personalized marketing. I
don't think there is any law which could help here... this is the reality
of the digital world today and it really cannot be changed.

Would Airtel cookies get classified as First, Second or Third party cookies?
