Cookie monsters: why your browsing history could mean rip-off prices
By collecting data on how desperate we are to buy and how much we can afford to pay, companies are finding sophisticated new ways to squeeze extra cash from unwitting shoppers

I always suspected this problem when browsing flights, so I always make sure cookies are deleted after searches.
