Good call, Stefan. seems in blatant disregard of the site's privacy policy, but then the site is also using Google Analytics which also breaches this and it's also not sure which data is handed over to Janrain for the single sign-on: their website doesn't really inspire trust that personal data will be treated as such. I'm more than a little intrigued to see cookies for the site for a conference in 2011 set to expire in 2021. It's worth noting the EU directive on data protection, privacy which 2009/136/EC is supposed to go into force in May.
