BBC good food has tons of tracking. Then I found out they don't belong to BBC anymore.

This is true for a few of these “BBC” sites; they were spun out (and merged) into a company called Immediate Media.

Care to name a few others? Genuinely interested.

Anything that was a BBC magazine got spun off, so that includes Top Gear (the magazine), Good Food, and Gardeners World (and Radio Times, although that didn't officially have "BBC" as part of its name afaik).

Good Food no longer has any mention of the BBC anywhere except in the domain name. I dont think its fair to call it BBC Good Food any more.

BBC doesn’t show ads in the UK (bbc.co.uk), but the international edition (bbc.com) does. The site looks quite different, and automatically redirects based on geolocation.

(Annoyingly it’s also stored in a cookie; if you travel frequently, you can get stuck in a redirect loop.)

I did not know that. I have just checked and my UK ISP provided DNS does not even resolve bbc.com!
