> The other reason some sites use them is so that you go to one site, order a bottle of shampoo, and then go to another site and look at a dress. Now, since both sites set cookies, you go to site number three and up pops a cute little coffee table screaming, "Hey, with that nice, shiny hair and that new dress, wouldn't I look great in your living room?"

My understanding is that with any recent browser, sites can only access their own cookies. So the furniture site wouldn't know about your shampoo or your dress. And only this site could tell you had been here.
