Find Out What Web Sites Know About You

Kim Komando, host of the American talk radio show with the same name wrote a column for USA Today where she explains what you're revealing when you go online.

Did you ever wonder about those ads on a web site that specifically mention your hometown? You also see ads for products you looked at online, but never purchased. And some online ads seem frighteningly tailored to your likes.

By simply visiting a Web site, you reveal more than you probably realize. They know where you're located and other sites you've visited. Sites can even learn intimate details about you, like medical conditions.

Find out what you reveal to the sites you visit.
