[iMore Question]

I understand that some websites require registration so my email address is enough to get that way. But how is my email address hijacked from just visiting a website? After all, I don't click on anything or download anything. And my email isn't even open. How do I prevent this kind of tracking. I am running 10.11.1 (El Cap) on a MacBook Pro. I have "Do No Track" and "Blur" installed.

How do you know a website hijacked your email? Did they start spamming you?

Wish people just answer the question instead of asking how do you know?

Probably because based on the OP, there's not enough info to give a definite answer, so questions are asked. That's actually part of the troubleshooting process.
