I was using Ccleaner to clear cookies on my computer when I noticed one of the cookies was for tv licensing eventhough I have not visited their website. makes you wonder how they get their info to see if you have a license.

It could possibly be from a website you've visted where there has been an advert at the top or down the side. I know that I've seen adverts at the top of the page in Hotmail when checking my email.
Others will know whether this is a possibility, it's just a suggestion from me.
I don't think it likely they would use this method to track someone to be honest.0 -

Most Internet cookies are incredibly simple, but they are one of those things that have taken on a life of their own. Cookies started receiving tremendous media attention back in 2000 because of Internet privacy concerns, and the debate still rages.
On the other hand, cookies provide capabilities that make the Web much easier to navigate. The designers of almost every major site use them because they provide a better user experience and make it much easier to gather accurate information about the site's visitors.
