(I do not think it's particularily important what the press may have
been reporting in the past, but the above does not match my impression
and I've checked a number of leading german news sources and there are
few articles that even attempt to draw this distinction, and when they
do it's rather vague; a concept like "across web sites" appears in less
than 2 in 12 articles in my non-scientific sample; more common are
mentions of personalized ads, and news web sites or search engines do
not need cross-site information to make personalized ads.)
