The Power of the Internet

Firstly I'd like to say that whilst I have lots of logins to various parts of the online world I don't, knowingly, use any logins for business and pleasure. I have at least 4 Google logins - one for work, one for this blog, one for Youtube and one for home.

Imagine my surprise when viewing a Kakuro (like Sudoku) website at home the usual 'learn keystage 3 maths' advert has been replaced with an advert for www.oriental-crusher.com (note for parents: this isn't some weird porn, but an advert for a company in China making quarry plant)

Now it's true that I have been looking at websites at work for crushing plant, and oriental crusher do seem to sell them. But HOW DID GOOGLE TRACK ME DOWN? It's Scary, perhaps we should all be a bit more paranoid.
