    Its the cookies in your browser telling them what to advertise it comes on what type of sites / things you search for as they are targeting the audience which is YOU.

    You can delete the cookie and it will reset and give you random ones.

    Its how ads work. In your cookies they track what you have recently searched, what has been posted on websites you have visited, etc. Seeing as you are on a weightloss and food site, it sees that, then the ad searches its database for a food ad, in hopes that you might buy something from it. I get android phone ads, because I read a lot on android phones

    Thanks Ben, but I am only playing.

    For the record, I've not searched for Pizza Hut.

    I know exactly where it is.

    Ah gotcha. I also get a ton of bikini body ads too. IDK, maybe the google ads thinks I need to get into that bikini this summer

    NHS ad requesting blood doners here. Haven't donated blood for 18months as last time my iron levels were too low so there's some sort of mind-reading thing going on imo. Og the guilt! :laugh:

    It's not just what you search for... the ads are smart ads. If there is type on the page that says something about pizza an ad with pizza will be displayed. If your page says something about running - there you go, a plethora of ads about running shoes, clothes, etc. I hate it, but it is so.
