1. If you want to be safe, you should never, never, never use the internet
Otherwise, just try not to make it easy for "them."

You can turn off cookies, but then you can't do much of anything in regards to web surfing anymore. It's a trade-off. Like, you can go to a public sports event and pay for your tickets with a credit card, but don't where a t-shirt with your name and address on it.

A little common sense is all that's required. Ain't no free.

4. I played around with this for a few minutes..
... searching my own zip code. I buy crap on the net a lot. I'm not in there. I think this data comes from an ISP, not just online purchases. AOL would be a good guess. :)

On the other hand, it might be fun when some of the marketing companies fail to do routine checks before sending mail out.

7. You don't have to give them anything
They find it and take it. If your name is anywhere, someone has it on a mailing list.
