I logged in to my Gmail account from work and tried to open an eBay email I received in there.
I immediately got a big "Access Denied" webpage from my company and could not go any further.
This tells me the company security controls (firewalls etc.) are blocking access to eBay from my work computer.
Does this mean eBay could not have logged anything about me from that email I tried to open?
I figure if I can't access eBay through the company network, chances are eBay likewise has no access to my work computer thus they cannot log anything from my computer at work even if I attempt to open their emails from there, correct?
