Online Destinations That Know Too Much About You

"Information sharing has become a sociological norm in this high-tech age. At times it’s a conscious choice; but more and more often, it’s being done without our knowledge or permission. Social networking invites a certain amount of disclosure, in what is expected to be a safe and controlled environment. Some websites obtain info about us either through various means of data mining, such as the use of cookies or beacons. There are a lot of sites out there that know more about you than you think."
