Folks,
A few months back, StatCounter was approached by an advertiser, offered lots of $$$, and asked to include a spyware cookie on all of our member sites…we refused on the spot.
You install StatCounter to track visitors to your site NOT to open yourself and your visitors up to being spied upon by phantom advertising corporations.
It appears, however, that other players in the world of webstats were happy to take up this offer…
We were shocked to discover just today that another well known stats provider is allowing up to 9 cookies to be installed in the browser of every visitor that hits one of their member websites. This means that the provider is making money by transmitting data on you and your visitors to a third party advertiser. Not only that, but to add insult to injury, the cookies are causing the member websites to load very slowly too.
In light of this, StatCounter wants to assure you that we track your visitors for you, only you and not any one else.
Which provider would you prefer??
By the way, welcome to our new blog 😉
As the founder of Cyber Top Cops, I am proud to see our stats tracker taking a stand against spyware. Well done and keep up the good work.

Thank you for saying no to spyware. We really appreciate your service and wish you guys success through legal and moral revenue sources!
There are only two stat provider that I used for my web. Statcounter and Google analytic. I rarely check Google analytic but I check statcounter everyday.
I’m glad that Statcounter chose the users not $$$. You will always my #1 stat provider
I’d like to add my thank you for refusing this sleazy offer. I can understand why you wouldn’t want to give the name of the competitor but who was this sleazy advertiser! This is a terrific service and getting better all the time. I’ve used others but gradually abandoned them in favour of yours. Glad to see my trust has been justified!!!
Thanks guys! I’ve been using Statcounter for years and I love it! I also include Statcounter in all my customers web designs by creating an account for them in their name and they love it too! Keep up the great work!
Bravo! You deserve an applause.
Thanks for saying no. You’re a good and honest people.
Thank you! We get spied on enough every time we access the net – by now these lil bugs probably know what kind of coffee i drink at my puter desk! Your stat counter is brilliant and it seems your ethics are too!
