Instead, it spends some time observing your browsing habits, so it understands your preferences, likes, and dislikes. Once it gets to know you, it has a better idea on which ads would spark your interest and result in a click. Then it floods you with them. Unfortunately, Steel Cut doesn’t simply monitor your browsing experiences. It’s programmed to keep track of every move you make, catalog it, and then send the collected data to the individuals behind it. Once they have it, these people can use it however they see fit.
