They must measure where do you go from after reddit, they must measure too that I use reddit less and less.

    Reddit doesn’t have access to ‘the Lemmy cookie’ but the Reddit cookies are still active when you’re visiting other websites. Firefox blocks this though

      What do you mean “active?” It’s just a file on your computer. Reddit has to actively look for the cookie, which they can do if they have a “share on Reddit” button on the websites you visit. But Reddit doesn’t know all the websites you went to that don’t have this button just because you have a cookie.
