I'm sure this has happened to everyone. You start to fill a form, change your mind without having submitted the form and close the window. Then you get some kind of email communication from the site. Either a cookie cutter mail about having left items in their shopping cart or a more personal mail asking if you need help or have a problem.

How can they get hold of your email when you A) aren't registered at the site and B) never submitted any part of the form?

I've been thinking it's cookies, ad services that share their knowledge about you with the site, but I'm not so sure anymore. unsure.gif
