Is Picodi safe?

Question

Is Picodi safe?

Accepted Answer

Picodi is medium risk. The first time Picodi Cashback runs after installation, it sends a registration beacon to Picodi's servers containing your browser's user-agent string, platform type, browser language, and the install date, alongside a randomly generated persistent identifier. This beacon fires once and cannot be disabled; the user-agent and platform fields function as device fingerprint signals. Each time the Picodi Cashback extension displays its popup on a shopping site, it sends your current page URL, the shop name, and a persistent device identifier to Google Analytics. This occurs automatically on every shop page visit without prompting you, and the identifier allows Google to link your activity across all sessions.
