Wordle Remains “Free” After NYT Acquisition, but Now Comes Bundled With Tons of Ad Tracking

This article mentions the world trending game Wordle. The game was originally designed and hosted by Josh Wardle before being handed to New York Times. Everyone was expecting a subscription or purchasing for the game in the future as it gets more popular, but instead, NYT added plugins for ad tracking networks. Also, the game is sharing data with third parties without our knowledge.
Because of uncertainty, everyone is worried about data security while playing the game. Basic contact and location information might be transferred, such as purchase records, email subscriptions, web browsing records, etc.
