Do some websites use cookies to exploit user information?
A. Unfortunately, yes. Some may deceive users or omit their policies. For example, they may track your Web surfing habits across many different websites without informing you, and then use this data to customize the advertisements you see on websites, etc., typically considered as an invasion of privacy. It is difficult to identify this and other forms of “cookie abuse,” which makes it difficult to decide if, when, and how to block them from ones system. In addition, the acceptable level of shared information varies between users, so it is difficult to create an “anti-cookie” program to meet the needs of everyone.
