Your Anonymity to Geist
When you visit a site related to a Geist client, we create a record of the fact that a particular, unidentified agent has performed some action, and ties this record to a completely anonymous ‘continuity token’, from which we can only tell whether you as an actor are the same or different from any other actor, and nothing else. For example, we will know that somebody bought the same thing twice, but nothing about who that ‘somebody’ is.

These purposes are
