Targeted advertising

Am I right in thinking the adverts on line are targetted by your viewing history?


If it is, it makes me wonder what leap of logic pushes "fish dating" on to the agenda.

I feel like I've been done up like a kipper.

 

Yeah but I believe it taps into all the computers used on your connection. I get adverts for things my mother looks at on her laptop at home, and at my girlfriends I get things that her family look at pop up. And at work I get all kinds of bollocks..

 

I think the ASA may have a cod of practice somewhere.

 

I dont see adverts at all, don't they stop if you're logged in??

 

Stop carping on about the ASA

 

I think you should get off your high and mighty perch and plaice yourself in the shoes of the ASA.

 

Fish dating will only make your heart hake.

 

It still raises the same question about what's been getting searched for that would make the advert machine think he wanted to find his sole mate.

It's rather inaccurate though, the google ads thing across lots of sites is really pushing for me to do my ACA certificates (professional accounting qualifications) at London School of Economics at the moment. I've only searched for places to do them once, and I must have searched for other things more than that since then without any adverts appearing in the cycle.

Fish dating? If you're lucky you might pull a mussel

 

Maybe it was a fish pun?

 

I'd imagine it was but it was there to pounce on either way

 

Eel get upset if you point out his spelling mistakes.

 

Oh no, he might batter me..

 

I bet he's gutted about making that spelling mistake anyhow.

 

This thread is a load of pollocks

 

Pike down Jimmy

 

Even so, all this banter is helping to fillet.

 

Sorry, it's just that the rest of you seem to be a dab hand at fish puns and are having a whale of a time. The puns have reached a new scale and I'm fed up to the gills with them. Time to get my skates on.

 

Well, I'm not doing it on porpoise....
