I really should just laugh, I guess
Jan. 8th, 2019 03:04 amIt's pretty well-established now that in recent years, Google (among others) have developed Super-Cookies that track you, even through incognito mode, to target ads at ya... They make the browser most of us use, so they know how to sidetrack it (and these strategies usually work against Firefox too).
When I see these ads, my first inclination is to be annoyed at their two-faced tactics... and then I just have to reset and think about it a moment.
With all their devious efforts, they are often just cutting their own foot off. For example, I've bought a thousand nails for a job. Now I am seeing constant ads for MORE nails. Or I buy a refrigerator... and now am seeing repetitive ads for more refrigerators.
Do you see where this is going? ;D ... And why do advertisers pay to promote things I No Longer Need?? LOL!!
Google sure has them fleeced!
