right, and my ads are for trucks and shoes..... clear your cache and it will change
There are also "Super Cookies" (LSO/Flash Cookies). I have them automatically cleared every hour by using "Better Privacy", an add on for Firefox.
As with HTTP cookies, local shared objects can be used by web sites to collect information on how people navigate those web sites even if people believe that they have restricted the data collection.[5] Online banks, merchants, or advertisers may use local shared objects for tracking purposes.[6]
On 10 August 2009, Wired magazine reported that more than half of the top websites used local shared objects to track users and store information about them but only four of them mentioned it in their privacy policy. "Flash cookies are relatively unknown to web users," it said, "even if a user thinks they have cleared their computer of tracking objects, they most likely have not." The article further asserts that some websites use Flash cookies as hidden backups, so that they can revive HTTP cookies when user deletes them.[7]
According to New York Times, since July 2010, there had been at least five class-action lawsuits in the United States against media companies for using local shared objects.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_shared_object0 -

This is weird, cause I've not eaten at McDonalds since May.... so why would it all of a sudden show up?
I clear my cookies and my search history every 2 weeks...
WEIRD!!!!!
Also right now I have Natural Choice for a Visibly Healthy Dog.... Yes I have dogs, but I've never even heard of this brand nor have I ever searched for this brand....
I think it is something that they have on a rotation and it's random... That is my thought...0 -
I have cigars, cell phones, and converse shoes.0

By the time I got to the third page of this thread I got adds for:
Ritz Carlton
Williams-Sonoma
Nordstrom
and TD bank to open an IRA0 -
I get Zulily a lot, and I don't know what that is.
Today, I've been getting:
The Color Run (yep I googled)
Air Canada/West Jet (I'm looking up airfare)
TRX (googled it once)
Sometimes it's things that I haven't looked up, but I suppose if I read a thread with any hot words, then the ads will come up.0 -
I've got teach kids about drugs. Don't know why...
Oop just changed to a mortgage refi program- still don't know why...0 -
I like McDonalds, so it doesn't bother me.
My ads are cigars, the Sheraton hotel, tough mudder, 'walk to end alzheimer's' ad.
Just stop going to the McD's website all day and it'll stop. (calm down, just kidding)0 -
Best fix ever, start googling for clothes and shoes. Problem solved lol.0
-
I've got Avon and Fantasy Football.
I started buying some Avon stuff from a coworker and can look at her website, and I'm on two Fantasy Football teams. Football!!0 -

thanks!0 -
Mine are Spartan Races and designer clothing lol it knows what pages you go to0

I have ads for plus sized women's clothing.
Explain THAT one? At what point did I search for plus sized women's clothing? (Hint: I didn't). I've never even looked up plus sized clothing. Or women's clothing. Yet there on the side is an ad for "Zulily's" advertising clothes for big women.
LOL It doesn't have to be women's clothing... or plus sized clothing that you looked up. Could just be clothing. They use key words, not exact stores. So, the OP could have searched for Burger King, or burgers, and get an ad for McDonald's now.0 -
Install an add blocker, solved.
^^^ this
no idea why more people don't use them!!
I see no ads at all :drinker:0 -
I have ads for fresh direct, nature box, Platoon fitness, etc. I also had a random one for Pillsbury cinnamon buns, which mirrors nothing on my browser history, but for the most part, the ads are directly geared towards what you look at. Stop looking at fast food/ entering fast food calories in, and you'll stop getting fast food ads.0

I love this so much. It's hilarious.0
-
I have an add with very sleek-looking lady for Love Culture website, trying to allure me to buy some sweet leggings. Maybe I should check it out.0
-
What!? .25 cent burgers at McD's???? This is the best news ever! I'm hoping that typing this brings up the add for me! That's the kind of stuff I needs to know!0
-
There are ads on MFP??? :huh: I've never seen one. Of course, that could be because I am using Firefox with an ad-blocker... LOL :bigsmile:0
-
That is a smoking deal. Thanks for lunch ideas!0
