At best, a site can track what your machine is doing on their site, and perhaps retrieve some information about what you've done on a selection of other sites since a server can only ask for a specific cookie whose name it knows.

Exactly. And that is exactly what DCLK does. All DCLK affiliated sites access that same Doubleclick cookie which contains your ID, and when you are referred to DCLK for an ad banner, DCLK records where you have been.

As for SI, I beg to disagree with you about the usage of cookies. I did accept the initial cookies, then turned off cookies, and I was immediately returned to the log in page. Thus the new version uses the cookie to remember your ID instead of keeping track the way the current version does.
