   OK, so I went to a shopping site, and was browsing a particular item. The next   
   time I go to my mail site to check my email, it's showing me banner ads not   
   just from that shopping site, but *the actual items I was looking at* - what   
   the HELL is going on    
   here? This couldn't happen unless Mr. shopping was *sharing info* with Google   
   Ads or whatever bloody ad network it was on my mail site....??!! How does this   
   work? And how come no one's done anything about it? Surely this HAS to be   
   illegal??!!!
