They arent the only ones up to this. Google has built their empire around tracking user activity, the only surprise is that other companies are only just catching on now.

I have mixed opinions on the whole deal, I really don't care if my browsing history is used to serve me more relevant ads but I'd bet that companies other than google don't have the best security and safety practices. Collecting more than just browser history (like login or financial information) would be my biggest concern.

And what would they find on my history? 4HV, FurAffinity, YouTube, Experience Project, and Imgur. I think I have more miles with Qantas than I'll ever get with that scam they're advertising.

I've often wondered what my NSA profile looks like smile

Based on my posts here it would probably make good reading.

It knows that I'm female due to my G+ and all. But I have adblock, and the rest of the data points are "unknown." When I was 12, it thought I was an 18-24 year old male.
