Would be a gold mine of competitive information that any vendor would lust for. However, that would be a definite invasion of privacy. As an aside, having been a Volvo owner since 1972, I don't think there is much Volvo could learn about me by tracking me on the Internet.

I think you both touched on the hard part, which is using personal information to make ads more relevant but without crossing a line and abusing people's privacy. That's the Holy Grail.
