I looked at my own profile at BlueKai, http://tags.bluekai.com/registry and they really only had my location as being in DC. Check you own.
UPDATE: The setting to allow sites to store files on your computer might cause some problems with some web sites (mostly videos and downloads) if disabled. If you can live without the site, do that. If you can't, open up your PC to the corporations. They are just punnishing users for blocking their efforts to exploit your privacy.
