Tracking: A small tracking “pixel” or javascript code embedded in the viewed page triggers the tracking server which collects and records attributes of the page, IP address, location of device, search query (if applicable), etc. User profi les are created from the aggregation of this data and reflect a high level of personal identifi cation.
Targeting: Data aggregated through tracking can then be used to create individual user profi les as well as behavioral profi les for user sets in order to provide relevant advertising.
Behavioral Credit Scoring by banks that may give or deny credit/loans based on the correlation of customer’s online behavior vs tendencies of their related behavior profi le.
