Sail Deals General Description

Another common problem with adware is the addition of tracking cookies so that PII (personally identifiable information) is collected. PII consists of:
→Names, website credentials (passwords, user names), banking credentials, physical addresses, IP addresses, etc.
Keep in mind that adware may collect PII as well as Non-PII. Non-personally identifiable information is:
