No, more like what the grocery store or pharmacy finds out when they 
scan your discount card: they know what you bought, how much you 
spent, when, and at which stores. 

I have two browsers. On one I have set the preferences so that I have to 
confirm each cookie before it can be stored on my hard drive. It's 
amazing the huge number of cookies some sites try to store about all the 
ads they have shown me, and whether I have clicked one. It's also 
amazing how many sites know what ads were shown to me on seemingly 
totally unrelated web pages.
