There are over 5,000 online trackers that use cookies, fingerprinting, and probabilistic device matching to follow you across the web. Some methods are actively used for fraud, malware, and intrusive user tracking. Some are commonly used for legit purposes. We'll talk about how sites are able to follow users, tracking methods both fair and foul, and how Mozilla protects users from tracking.

I write web code at Mozilla. I organize some local tech communities:

- Tulsa Web Devs' mission is to make Tulsa on of the greatest cities in the world for web developers.

- Code for Tulsa is our Code for America Brigade.

- Techlahoma is a state-wide foundation to support grassroots technology communities.

I owe all my best experiences to the open-source community and try to give back. I sometimes work on an open-source side project start-up: codesy.io. I sometimes brew my own beer.
