If you pay attention, you can correlate the ad's you see where you have been and even what stories you click on here on DU.

If you read a lot of posts related to the GOP, Koch or Rove, you will see ad's from those groups or companies related to them. You can thank Google and such companies for this technology.

I wouldn't worry about donating to DU. I currently am not a star member but have been for many years and have not seen any evidence that any of my information from DU is sold.
