🕵️‍♂️ Cross-site tracking happens when sites log and sell off/ share your data with 3rd parties. Tiny code snippets (trackers, cookies, pixels) log your clicks, searches, and time spent on the sites you visit, even when you are not online. That data gets sold, profiled, and used to manipulate your search results and experience.
