Companies have been monitoring our online
behavior for almost as long as there's been an Internet, often using
our online footsteps (cookies) whenever we search, browse or buy

searching for sexual-dysfunction drugs can be collected and stored on
individual profiles. Our profiles are numeric descriptions, not our
real names, but in some cases, it's not hard to determine personal
information behind the numbers.
