Today I logged in to Buxfer to see my latest expenses and how my budgets where doing and guess what: Google Adsense somehow knew that I’m a regular Icetea drinker: (click for larger image) Now the natural question is: does Buxfer share its users information with Google AdSense? According to the privacy information it is not:

Ads appearing on buxfer.com may be delivered to users by our advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Buxfer and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

So how does Google get my information? I’m not saying that Google is bad, in fact I love their AdSense service, but it’s a bit scary isnt it?
