IMO, no. "Super cookies" (aka persistent cookies) aren't true cookie files but a composite of other ways to track you. If you have Flash on your machine, there is a hidden tracking file there, for instance.
As for having visited a competitor's site, that's a function of your browser history (the same function that changes the color of visited links) and not a cookie per se.
Ever search on an item on a site then see ads for that item on other sites? You're being tracked across domains by the ad servers.
Besides, they have your IP#, too.
Works both ways:
One of the key metrics online merchants track is 'abandoned carts.' Want free shipping on a site you've just found? Load the cart, fill in the shipping info and your email, then do not checkout. Wait a day, I'd say there's a 30% chance you'll get an email offering free shipping or 10% discount.
