Do sites save cookies and personal info to your account
I'm somewhat OCD and I don't like it when sites save information to my accounts/my name that I cannot control.
I was wondering when I create a windows live msn email, log in, does it save information such as broswer i'm using, addons, past sites, how I got there. Identified with my account or is it all anonymously?
You know how sites track cookies, if I were logged in would it be linked to my account in any way. Like saved forever.
Heres an extract from Microsoft's privacy statement

"
Just need my accounts to be fully somewhat default, information from cookies, are they saved unique to my ID or are they just anonymously saved to a server.
I'm not very knowledgeable about information sites collect and how it's saved so if anyone could enlighten me I'd be greateful.
I know this is a weird post, sorry.
