Just last I got willies when I went to a site for the first time and was greeted with "Hi Tim!" It was some embedded Amazon content. So I locked Amazon out of setting cookies. It made me feel better for a bit.

I didn't mind Amazon making assumptions about me from the stuff I bought from them, but them keeping an eye on my broader surfing habits was too much.

Of course other companies are also collecting the data, just not saying "Peekaboo I see you."
