How Search Engines Track You

Google, Bing, Yahoo and a slew of other search engines track and store your every move. Your every search term, where you are, what sites you click on, where you shop on line and much more. And that is ok for most people. The ads you see are for the most part a direct result of what they know about you. That is their pitch.

The more they know about you the better they can “serve” you. These search engines use your search habits to serve you results they think you want.
