The ads on this forum are tracking my searches.

I had looked at headstones a week or so ago on google. No big deal. Just an inquiry. I spent this weekend looking at a short cruises in January. Now for a day, I have seen Carnival Cruise ads, and damn......a headstone ad. I am getting uncomfortable with my smart phone also. I think privacy is completely something you should forget about when on the internet.

Hi Joanie

Is anybody else seeing cruise line ads and headstone ads.....or have I lost my fricking mind. I tried to copy the ads and paste them but that did not work.

Nope.....not insane.....just got an ad for the Horseshoe casino. I guarantee you nobody else on this forum saw that ad. The ads are tied into my google searches. It somehow is able to look at my google index and put an ad which is similar to my searches. The world is getting smaller, and people are getting incredible information on our habits.

'Brilliant Puzzles' is at the top of my page right now.  I ordered some puzzles as stocking stuffers the other day.  But this didn't just start happening on here.  I've been noticing this for awhile.

When you search for something Google gives your ip/ID to a vendor and they place a ad in your copy of google. You will get a lot of hits with a search for cruises because of the competition.  A search for a Ford starter might not do as much.  Just depends... Just Google AdWords

I keep getting redirects to the google download for one game or another on my phone... which is all I use.

Isn't there a way to limit what access a non member can fisch?

yep, thanks a lot. I just seen a cemetery ad.  

How do we change that? we all start talking about things we want to see ads of...

HOT CHICKS?

FAST cars?

Shoes?

Food?

hurry come up with some ideas so we don't have to see those ads for "you know what"....

A brain teaser ad after we had been discussing memory.

Advertising

Advertising keeps Google and many of the websites and services you use free of charge. We work hard to make sure that ads are safe, unobtrusive and as relevant as possible. For example, you won’t see pop-up ads on Google and we terminate the accounts of hundreds of thousands of publishers and advertisers that violate our policies each year – including ads containing malware, ads for counterfeit goods or those that attempt to misuse your personal information.

How Google uses cookies in advertising

Cookies help to make advertising more effective – and that is what keeps thousands of websites free of charge. Without cookies, it’s harder for an advertiser to reach its audience, or to know how many ads were shown and how many clicks they received.

Many websites, such as news sites and blogs, partner with Google to show ads to their visitors. Working with our partners, we may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as to stop you seeing the same ad over and over again, to detect and stop click fraud, and to show ads that are likely to be more relevant (such as ads based on websites you have visited).

Our advertising cookies

To help our partners manage their advertising and websites, we offer many products, including AdSense, AdWords, Google Analytics, and a range of DoubleClick-branded services. When you visit a page that uses one of these products, either on one of Google’s sites or one of our partners’, various cookies may be sent to your browser.

These may be set from a few different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com, or googleadservices.com. Some of our advertising products enable our partners to use other services in conjunction with ours (like an ad measurement and reporting service) and these services may send their own cookies to your browser. These cookies will be set from their domains.

See more detail about the types of cookie used by Google and our partners, and how we use them.

How you can control advertising cookies

You can use Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see.

You can also manage many companies’ cookies used for online advertising at the US-based aboutads.info choices page or the EU-based Your Online Choices.

Finally, you can manage cookies in your web browser.

Other technologies used in advertising

Google’s advertising systems may use other technologies, including Flash and HTML5, for functions like display of interactive ad formats. We may use the IP address, for example, to identify your general location. We may also select advertising based on information about your computer or device, such as your device model, browser type, or sensors in your device like the accelerometer.

Anonymous identifiers on mobile devices

To serve ads in services where cookie technology may not be available (for example, in mobile applications), we may use anonymous identifiers. These perform similar functions to cookies. To control the ads that we serve to apps on your mobile device, you can use our Ads Settings for apps. To change your preferences, or to opt out of interest-based ads, follow the instructions below for your mobile device.

Android

Open the Google Settings app on your device
Select Ads
iOS

Some apps on iOS 6 devices use Apple’s Advertising Identifier; to learn more about limiting ad tracking using this identifier, visit the Settings menu on your iOS 6 device. Legacy apps on your iOS 6 device, as well as apps on devices running older versions of iOS, may use a different device identifier. To opt out for these apps:

Open the Google Search app on your device
Press the Settings icon
Go to Ads Preferences

The affiliate alternative site does not allow non-members to view content... atleast that's what it says at login.

You know the worse part......damn prices on the link were better than I seen on my google search. What a powerful marketing tool. I use Ad words in one of my businesses, but I am going to contact them about this stuff.....wow. somebody does a search on google and my ad shows up next to listing of their search........but if I could have my ad just pop up wherever they are browsing to remind them of my product......yikes. No wonder newspapers are dying.
