Everything is tracked. This is why pop ups on the computer always seem to be for products Im interested in. The web browser learns and tailors sales to my taste. I Googled Arcteryx gloves once now everypage I go on has an ad.

Just because its prevalent doesnt make it right.

A dose of ccleaner will clear that right up. I run it every week or so to kill all the cookies, etc. that are left on my computer. There is a Free version.
