New Web Code Draws Concern Over Privacy Risks

This article relates a lot on what we have talked about in class. How websites and "cookies" can know our personal information. I feel that this is good for companies since they get to learn more about their consumers and what their needs and wants are, but at the same time I feel like it is invading personal privacy. What do you think?

  1. It's scary that so many companies find out so much information about people that they do not even realize. I agree that it is a total invasion of privacy for the consumer, but this is also how companies make their products and services better and more appealing to specific customers.
    It depends who you are advocating for, whether or not you agree with the use of this personal information.
