Amazon – How does Amazon know what I have been searching on Google

amazongoogleprivacy

I was just browsing at some products on Amazon, without being logged in to Amazon, and then I noticed at the bottom the 'Recent Searches' box – which showed searches I had made from Google and had never clicked through to Amazon for.

Can someone explain this to me? Why is Amazon tracking my searches like this?

Do you any extensions (FasterFox for example) or plugins installed that could be pre-fetching the links on the google search page, this would cause what you're observing as the browser (along with your amazon cookies) would still be hitting those pages.
