Study: Government Web Sites Track Users
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON -- Despite a White House prohibition, 13 government agencies are 
secretly using technology that tracks the Internet habits of people 
visiting their Web sites, and in at least one case provides the information 
to a private company, a congressional review has found.
The agencies range from the Federal Aviation Administration to the federal 
offices that provide disaster relief and administer Medicare, the General 
Accounting Office found in a study obtained by The Associated Press.
