How to be Vigilant or The Risk

I felt that in this article it was explaining how the Internet is keeping tabs on us no matter what we do. How these "cookies" track people's online behavior, so to create a personal profile about them. The cookies make it more convenient by saving your login and password, but they also save you credit card information. That could make people more prone to identify theft or people charging bogus amounts on our credit cards. These cookies build these profile's and store them in huge data base's. Then web bugs that send all information back to a server on what we surf about. The bugs send IP Address, what browsers we use, and that date and time with text on what we are viewing. I think that these corporations, ad agencies, and whoever obtains this information are just breaking our privacy rights. Trying to find ways to trap money out of people any way that they can. Just one big scam and invasion a privacy I believe.
