4 cookies were blocked when i went there (All 3rd party)

I saw someone say there are 7 trackers on the site! (They were all blocked by thier ghostery program (I wonder if those trackers ONLY CAN WORK if you have scripts enabled (I assume most rely on scripts)))

Scary stuff.

I wonder if any of this have ever been used in a criminal prosecution?

I know on Law & Order, several episodes involved checking out supermarket headquarters to see if the suspect had used a supermarket card which put him in a different neighborhood than where he said he was. I would guess that was likely based on actual police procedure. I wonder if some equivalent might not be used for online searches?
