Check out the site > http://www.businessinsider.com/evidon-sells-ghostery-data-to-advertisers-2013-6


Hope this helps

I believe it's an Opt-in feature of Ghostery, so by default it should not affect you unless you have enabled GhostRank, see more here:

Further enough Earth, but I just seen that post with the link and I just thought I'd provide.

I forgot that was on the site, to what you posted the link on.
 
I use and like Ghostery and as stated above this is opt-in.
 
A good question would be, Why to use GhostRank? Are there any benefits?

If you put a checkmark in the box to help GhostRank.

Info I got of there site: What is Ghostrank?

Ghostrank is an option you can select if you would like to support Ghostery. When you select it, you allow Ghostery to track trackers as your browser traverses the internet. The anonymous information on the trackers is sent back to us, and we make reports out of it. It’s how we make money, it makes the internet more transparent for everyone, and it also makes for some very insightful blog posts on the Purple Box. You can learn more about Ghostrank and our parent company, Evidon,
