juuni, unfortunatly that defenitition is false. Cookies can not be accessed by unrealated sites. "the man" is not out to massivly collect information out of all the sites you access.
The compleat and total extent of multisite tracking, is when say, 2 unrealted web sites who have signed up to doubleclick ad services and display a doubleclick ad on their pages. When you bring up each sites respective page, the site itself does not access the doubleclick cookie, but the doubleclick ad from the doubleclick site accesses that cookie. Now the doubleclick ad using the ID number from the banner in the html code will know which site you polled for a banner from, and so it will in turn know that you visited that site, but that is all.
Its like walking into a mall and 2 of the stores has a huge poster in thier doorway from some advertiser, and theres a big honken video camera ontop of the poster. The advertiser will know its you when you walk into those 2 stores, but it has no clue if you have walked into any of the other stores in the mall.
Rogben, in said database, my "unique identification" would be something like the number 9838765243. They dont know my name, sex, or if im even human.
