Problem solved.

Of course, as mentioned, this is all pointless because you're not in any way threatened by a server with some browsing data on it. No-one will ever see the info.

That's just terrific! They know everything about you. Aren't there any rules about that?
Also, the article told me about an add on called "Collusion" in Mozilla Firefox which forms a net diagram indicating the websites that track you. When I visited NS and after like half an hour used Collusion, it stated that NS was giving information to the following websites:
doubleclick.net
photobucket.com
imageshack.us
drowtales.com
rtbidder.net
groovinads.com
invitemedia.com
And after sometime I visited Photobucket and it was giving my information to:

crwdcntrl.net
imrworldwide.com
rlcdn.com
adnxs.com
tribalfusion.com
atdmt.com

The site photobucket.com is potentially aware of your visits to the following websites.
nationstates.net
pubmatic.com
pbsrc.com
Don't I have the right to control who can view what sites I am visiting. Is there any way to control that? I am so worried and angry
