Yep. The top where the link bar is sometimes says tracking in the url also.

I think its tracking cookies that some apps use get business. Talk about life in the future. They sell products by hacking into our systems. That's pretty much all pop ups or anything that attempts to redirect you to another place.

They get away with it as well because most people just ignore it without realizing they are forcing their product upon your device or computer. That's worse then a TV or youtube commercial.

The thing I'm most paranoid about is thief's using the app page as a decoy to get hacks on your device. Only a dumb person would think "Hey my phone wants me to download clash of clans. Might as well do it!" but looking at the world many people probably would.

I might have tape over the cameras on all my devices. I'm totally not paranoid though. No one could possibly be watching me.through all the camaras. Camaras everywhere...
