We're left to guess at what the point is but I doubt that Barclay's use of javascript, cookies and analytics platforms are what Razer is pointing out. I presume that Razer is miffed at the obvious indoctrination play that comes off as a bit creepy. Perhaps Razer would like to see a Cpunks themed playground where opsec is taught to toddlers?

Barclay's bank, you know they're cool because they use the wrong symbols for punctuation and substitute letters for look-alike glyphs. -Travis On Fri, Apr 24, 2015 at 12:53 PM, Georgi Guninski <guninski@guninski.com> wrote:

Obviously not. But the use of such nonsense (all of which I block) will keep people like me from wasting time by going to the site, so I thank Georgi for the heads-up. -S

Cool! We getz to sling tarballs at each other too? Re:

What kind of creeps me is the Yellow Submarine-like graphics, a throwback to my teen years. If they REALLY want to attract kids nowdays Miley Cyrus 1/2 nekkid Twerking gifs and Call of Duty gamergore would probably attract more. BTW, and OT, I think I've found the first recorded use of the word "Twerk". Frank Zappa's tender Autumn/Spring love ballad, Magdalena. Albeit none of the lyrics sites show that word in the song, it's plainly there if one listens to the track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKFUOnnSF0c (incl. Dog Breath).
There was a man A little ole man Who lived in Montreal With a wife and a kid And a car and a house And a teenage daughter With a see-thru blouse Who loved to TWERK (grunt) and ball- And her name was Magdalena
Magdalena . . .
The little ole man Came home one night To his house in Montreal. He caught his daughter In the blouse by the light And he said to himself: "She looks all right!" And he reached for a tit And grabbed it tight And threw her up Against the wall (BLUE CROSS!) Magdalena . . .
My daughter dear, Do not be concerned when your Canadian daddy comes near. My daughter dear Do not be concerned when your Canadian daddy comes near. I work so hard, Don't you understand, Making maple syrup For the pancakes of our land.

You miss the point. CODING. Besides, I'm absofuckinglutely sure BARCLAYS put all sorts of nasty Jscripts onsite to tamper with kid's computers.
and/or cookies.
I didn't inspect the text bodies but their names indicate they're there to prove you viewed their cookie policy. Besides, the intertubz wouldn't work very well without them. (Get out much?) Use a cookie cleaner occasionally and block 3rd party cookies. Problem solved.

GhostServ or NoScript blocks it. No site NEEDS it to function correctly.
