    I think you can get a little too paranoid about this stuff. Once you realize how much companies track people it is a little surprising, and as raf points out the anonymity thing is kind of a joke.

    But then you're left with...what? They know your general personal info (age, gender etc), and maybe a little about your buying habits....big fuckin deal. Same thing most people have posted on their Facebook page.

    Is there some scenario you can imagine where this leads to anything all that bad happening to you, lol? Worst is that happens is maybe they'll serve you one banner ad instead of another one. Which would happen anyway:)
