I have no problem with vendors tracking the fact that I clicked on THEIR ad, but when ad networks start using cookies on my computer to track other places I've been, that is an invasion of privacy.

Or you start receiving spam emails for items that you viewed on a website.

I have a neat trick to get rid of the spam. I create a message rule that forwards the spam back to the source, mark it read, then delete it.

I never have to see spam from the same source anymore.
