Well what if you have a profile on the site where you've put your interests or gender or something?



It would be kinda hard for an individual web site to develop a meaningful profile of you. The major exception to this is Facebook where they profile you based on your personal posts and activity as well as all your friends.

Facebook and Google have a global reach. They have trackers and profilers on about 80% of the web sites.
