  2. Tracking Sex: The Implications of Widespread Sexual Data Leakage and Tracking on Porn WebsitesOur analysis of 22,484 pornography websites indicated that 93% leak user data to a third party. Tracking on these sites is highly concentrated by a handful of major companies, which we identify. We successfully extracted privacy policies for 3,856 sites, 17% of the total.
