Suggestion for rewriting privacy leakage:

    Privacy leakage — Web sites often provide services 
    depending on third party Web sites (such as social
    network sign-in for commenting). These systems are 
    storing credentials using cookies. It makes it 
    possible to trigger the download of certain 
    resources from the 1st party Web site. With this 
    mechanism, the third party Web sites can gain 
    knowledge on which first party Web site the visitor
    is signed on.
