Tracker report
Trackers on redstate.com
redstate.com loads 8 known trackers from 5 companies across 21 third-party hosts, and sets 1 cookie before you interact with anything.
What this means
When you open redstate.com, your browser makes 21 requests to hosts other than redstate.com itself. 8 of those are recognised tracking or advertising services, which means they received a record of your visit before you interacted with anything on the page. That is above the average of 1.9 across the 11,596 sites we crawled.
Which companies receive data
Individual tracker domains matter less than who is behind them, because one company operating several services can join those observations into a single profile. On redstate.com, data reaches 5 distinct companies: Google, Microsoft, MGID, Amazon, Chartbeat.
Cookies set before you chose anything
1 cookie was set on the very first request, before any consent banner could have been shown or answered. Some of those are likely to be necessary for the site to function, which is permitted. Whether all of them qualify is a question our cookie banner check is designed to help with.
How this was measured
We requested the homepage of redstate.com the way an ordinary browser would, read the HTML the server returned, and matched every third-party host against our public tracker signature database. Nothing was logged in, no forms were submitted, and no page beyond the homepage was fetched.
The count is a floor rather than a total. This method reads the HTML as delivered and does not execute JavaScript, so trackers injected at runtime by a tag manager are represented by the tag manager rather than counted individually. A tool claiming a complete figure is either running a full browser for every site or overstating what it knows.
Blocking these
Every request listed above can be cancelled before it is sent. That is what a tracker blocker does, and unlike hiding elements after the fact it means the tracking company never learns you were here at all.
