Browser cookieOnline privacy is now a hot a topic as it ever was since the introduction of cookies in the early 90s. Cookies enable a website to recall that your browser is the same browser that visited it on previous sessions, and over time this effectively lets the web sites build a list of interest topics your browser has visited. This becomes the source for Interest-based behavioural targeting advertising, a step on from contextual-ads you are most certainly used to see. But do you know what they know? Find out if your cookies are revealing your real passions.
