Shouldn't that be off by opting out of Ghostrank?

Personalisation does work to some degree, I can see that on Facebook. But especially in that place it tends to creep me out and I do make an effort to never visit Sponsored Content.

Yes, I believe you should be fine if you opt out.

Still, as much as I understand the need for Ghostery to monetise, I personally prefer to trust the EFF.
