Anyone know what this is before I click on it?

Trying to practice good opsec while doing research. Let me know if I’m dumb, but: a) will this track me? b) is this information reliable?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Factbook
Information in the world fact book may or may not be correct. I would cross reference it with other information. Sometimes the CIA admits bad things that they did inside the fact book.
In this 1983 report by the CIA, the CIA admits "American and Soviet citizen eat around the same food each day but the Soviet diet may be more nutritious."

Yeah, all things considered you could certainly do worse than the Factbook for broad facts. It's a pretty well established resource.
