I’m really bad.

I”ll use one web browser to search for what I’m looking for and then cut and paste that URL into a DIFFERENT web browser (one is firefox, the other Chrome) and go to the site to buy the product.

That being said, I’ve gotten to the point where I just buy everything online either through Amazon or Costco.

Believe there is/was a company called blue kava that was tracking the likes of you. Same person different devices. This has been going on since early 2000 folks. This is the long tail of the internet. Its pretty hard to stop. You point your web browser somewhere a log entry is made a cookie is generated (probably several and then a serverside cookie too). Its very sticky this web

The way the cookies and other data move around it doesn’t matter. I use Chrome almost entirely for Facebook (it runs flash games better than anybody else) and Firefox for my browsing. I look up stuff on Amazon in FF and 10 minutes later the competition’s ads are showing up in Chrome.

It’s the post privacy world, we’re just generating data in it.
