Marketers consider this to be simply good information to have so that they can do a better job of selling you stuff. Some think this is an invasion of privacy and can lead to more costly consequences. So, the same government that has recently decided that it is OK to perform a virtual strip search of you at the airport, has decided that tracking cookies are an invasion of your privacy.
