Unasked email via CR4-GlobalSpec product alerts

GlobalSpec is a completely different site. Like most everywhere else on the web, when you click on the read more button it places a cookie in your computer.

Long story short, if you clear your cookies after these sessions, this will stop. You will just have to log back in on your next session.

GlobalSpec, and CR4 for that matter, is supported through advertising. This type of targeted advertising based on what you may be interested in is quite common and is considered acceptable. Just a minor annoyance really.......easy to stop. To me it's worth it for the wealth of free content that we get.

This is why you need a 'second identity' when on the interweb.

Do all your 'research' and 'registrations' with ID #2 and they go to that in-box - not clutter up your working business mail.

Tip #2 use different names for your first initial of the #2 ID, when they ask for a name, then when you get 'personally addressed' spam - you know who it was that 'sold you out' to the spammer.

I'd be willing to bet, if you were ever bored enough to read it all, the GlobasSpec privacy policy tells you they do indeed share your email address, and that was part of what you "accepted" when you registered with the site. Part of doing business in the "internet enlightened" age.
