Came across this fascinating little app a couple of days ago, free on the Chrome Webstore.

It shows all sites the data is passed to in a pretty little visual "map", and automatically blocks known tracking sites (therefore no ads appear ).
So far it's showing TP as linked to two flagged (and now blocked) tracking sites (skimresourcesdotcom & googlesyndicationdotcom) and two others (yahooapisdotcom and googleanalyticsdotcom).
Where's my tinfoil hat?

Thousands of companies and organizations secretly collect your personal data when you use the web, creating a shadow web of connections between sites you go to and trackers you probably never heard of. Collusion for Chrome graphs the spread of your data from sites to trackers, in real time, to expose these hidden connections.
