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.

List of sites showing what information advertisers have based on your cookies:
