    How come the first advert I see when I come in here is gaydar.com?
    A dating sight for young homosexual males and there is a pic of two men kissing, are you lot keeping something from me that I should know?

    Adverts are usually based on your search history.

    The adverts access your internet history and display something relevant. I'd keep quite about it if I were you.

    Just a quick question guys. There's an advert on here that's a bit unusual, for "Zoophilia.com". Can anyone explain it?

    This is what the new law on cookies is about. Adverts are tailored to your browsing history if you have enabled cookies for a certain level of access. Pretty soon they will need to ask if they (the site provider) can put a cookie on your machine.

    Actually this is an interesting point, when I am on here not logged on I get dating sites, insurance offers and banking stuff. I really do'nt see how any of that relates to my internet activity.
    For the life of me I can't see the connection.
    What do other people get as advertisements when they aint logged in and can you figure how a computer programne would think you would be interested in their website

    Oh I would have expected a more academic reply from the most intelligent poster on this forum.
    How is your little statistical analysis thingy coming on by the way?
