Several years ago, I had occasion to see a home under construction and there was a copper bathtub in one of the bathrooms. Only recently I decided to look up what one would cost, but had no interest in buying one. Since that day of looking it up, every website I visit shows an ad for copper bathtubs. Other such searches also follow wherever I go on the web. If I look for shoes or anything else, the ads follow for weeks. There may occasionally be times when I'm actually shopping, but so much of it is not. It's only checking on something, possibly out of curiosity. I suppose it isn't going to go away...
You have too many third party cookies tracking your web site visits. Click tools [upper right corner geared wheel] click internet options, look for browsing history, click delete. If you haven't done it for awhile, wait for the finished response on bottom of screen.
When you visit a site they are usually using a third party advertising network. That third party can set a cookie but they can also try and identify you by other means like your IP etc. When you visit another site using that same ad network since th ad network knows you were interested in copper bathtubs that's the type ad they will serve you.
I'm still waiting to find out what the problem is here?
I mean really?
OMG... an advertising network knows that I looked at a bath tub?!?!
Unless you're building bombs or something I don't see the big deal.
It usually stops pretty quick (and moves on to the next thing you looked at).
Again..... so?
