This is a company that's been reported to use the dwell time of you mouse over a product as a potential indicator of interest. Something like a Citrix remote desktop is extremely chatty trying to keep the origin and server in sync with every move of a mouse or keystroke. If the ACKs from the origin confirming the receipt of screen change data took an abnormally long time it could show in system performance metrics pretty easily.
That's common internet marketing practice and the main reason to use an adblocker.
But didn't they start to eye-track their drivers? Stuff like that.
