Well, combining cookies and the referrer, sites can build up a profile of you for spam, or to sell to other people.

Depends how bothered you are about who knowing what the previous site you visited was I am not bothered at all. I can always close the window and break the link. Then the referrer would always appear as my homepage (Yahoo).
