AddToAny – the blue + on Flayrah that allows you to share articles – adds an undocumented third-party tracking cookie (map.media6degrees.com) to aid behavioural advertising.

I have disabled the cookie and filed a feature request to disclose this option in documentation. Users concerned with privacy may consider opting out of behavioural tracking.
