Whenever you visit a website, a cookie will be added to your computer to track your online activity. Most cookies are deletable, however, one kind of cookie that is not deletable is the supercookie. Major companies like Hulu and MSN are using these supercookies and can track all kinds of user data which is primarily used for advertising. The catch is that users are obviously not aware of supercookies on their computers and more than 1,500 websites that users visit can be tracked. Problems occur when the websites users visit are private like websites dealing with your financial information (loans, credit etc) and health issues (fertility problems, depression etc.).
