Why is it

[giveup]

Nearly every time I come on to AB this advert comes up.Loose your belly fat or similar.I have not got a big belly. Why are they picking on me.

Think others may see it too,

Still does'nt make me feel any better.

However, just in case this reply gets pulled for being gratuitously abusive, may I suggest downloading another browser such as Firefox or Chrome (my preference) with ad-block add-on. End of problem.

I don't actually know what is going on here but I am getting a funny feeling about the connection between various websites and AB advertising...

My experience is this...and I have tried it three times now with the same result..

Three days ago I went to John Lewis site looking for square pillows....when I next came on CB I noticed that the main advert was for ...yes you guessed it....

I cleared my browsing history and cookies and it cleared off...

Did the same yesterday out of curiosity and then again today after I saw your post GU......result ...more square pillow adverts.mmm....

Not tried any other stores but beginning to get a little bothered by it.....somebody somwhere is doing something they shouldn't and I don't like it one bit.....:-((

Maybe the Ab Editor can explain?

[ummmm]

Don't worry commoner. It's targeted advertising, started, I think, by Google.

[commoner]

....nothing to worry about then that my browsing is being broadcast wherever some idiot feels it should be seen ummmm?

Well it bothers me...must clear my cookies more often if that's how they do it...is it just Google then or do they all do it...smacks of invasion of privacy to me.

[ummmm]

I heard about it on a programme about Facebook.

You could do private browsing if it bothers you.
