How Facebook targets ads for sites viewed in incognito mode (webapps.stackexchange.com)

This is an interesting vulnerability in Chrome. Cookies from websites viewed in incognito mode are apparently available to websites viewed in non-incognito mode, provided that a regular browser is open while an incognito browser is open. Facebook looks at the temporary cookies folder and can later serve you retargeting ads based on sites you visited while in incognito mode.
