A lot of us are trying to get away from Reddit, including its tracking.

How does Reddit track you when you view content from their CDN?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Are you serious?! The same way that Facebook tracks you when you view content from their CDN.

You didn't answer.

You can't embed content natively from Facebook.

Meaning you can't get .mp4, .PNG,...etc direct links.

On Reddit you can.

And you think direct linking is without tracking?

By clicking that link, I’m giving Reddit access to my ip address, (hopefully rough) geo location, my browser fingerprint, among other details that they may glean from cookies and if I had stupidly still been logged in to Reddit, they can attach that session to my Reddit account.

You don't understand how hotlinking works.

When you click on the photo/video, you are just viewing/downloading a file from Reddit servers.

They basically get one thing, your IP address.

There is no Cookies involved, no further tracking.

That's very naive of you.
