If you aren’t paying for a product, then you’re the product being sold. Website “How Do They Make Money?” examines a number of tech companies, telling you how they make money — and which ones might be tracking you to do it.

You can filter the list by revenue type or service type too. We only wish it was a bigger list, so we could see more companies that are trying to track and sell your data.
