Use cookies to make websites look better

No one actually looks at website banner ads (those things down the side, and across the top of some websites which are usually unconnected with the content of the website itself). Rather, they are a sort of ambient decoration to your online existence, like a digital wallpaper encouraging you to lose weight and shop at Amazon.

Thankfully though, banner ads are becoming more targetted, and the banner ads you see will be different to those your friends see. This is because they are triggered by the content of the cookies stored on your computer, the slightly illogical rationale for this being that if you have shopped at a certain website, that website should then bombard you with banner ads, despite you having demonstrated that you are already aware of its offerings.

Anyway - it is of course obvious that proper management of the cookies on your computer can be used to control the placement of banner ads on websites you visit; you can control the 'wallpaper' of your online experience. For example, let us imagine someone who likes to look at attractive young women in expensive underwear. All that this hypothetical person would have to do would be to visit an online lingerie provider, put a few items in their 'shopping cart' and then close that browser tab. The presence of a cookie from this website indicating that they had nearly bought some skimpy underwear would then result in other websites displaying banner ads showing lingerie-clad women.

This idea then is to properly industrialise and control this process through an interface which can write cookies to your computer and change sets of cookies at a single click, depending on who might be looking over your shoulder (e.g. You could go from a cookie set which would cause lingerie ads to be shown to one which would cause gardening supply ads to be shown).
