This article is weird. I thought a hitbox was a form a collision detection? Certainly it's far more notable than... this. --76.121.170.19 (talk) 10:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah I came here looking for information on the hitboxes used in games but instead this... I don't see much notability, looks like just Yet Another Spyware Package to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.104.236.171 (talk) 20:50, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- This page has now been moved in order for hitbox to talk about the video game concept. --Tom Edwards (talk) 12:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
i agree that the article is too short, but it is an interesting subject... when my spybot found it on my computer it gave me this information; Company: HitBox Product: Cookie Threat: Tracking cookie or cookie of tracking site

Unfortunately the website provided led me to this one http://www.omniture.com/en/?s_cid=1493 and i'm not sure if thats a parent company or not. Killemall22 (talk) 14:22, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
This article is nonsense and misleading. Companies that do tracking do not 'install hitbox applications on your computer without your knowledge'. They are a very simple technology that runs javascript from within your web page. They may use cookies, but these are inert text files. I'm going to alter this page to closer mimic the page on Web Analytics. I also believe that since takeover by Omniture they have been phasing it out, so it is no longer widely used.
