The hidden perils of cookie syncing

Can you summarize for us how to avoid this kind of tracking? Is there much we can do besides Ghostery?

I block tracking at the domain level via a custom hosts file: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

Actually, I went one step further than this, I dump that hosts file into dnsmasq and set that as my primary domain controller for the home network. So anything connected via WiFi or ethernet (phones, tablets, laptops, etc) will also have tracking blocked.
