A quick question

[johnfirth]

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.

 

[johnfirth]

Thought they were based on key words in threads

Haha, busted John

 

[johnfirth]

Hmmm on of the guys that works for me used my computer yesterday, you got me thinking now :-0

 

[originallambrettaman]

Oops

 

[Erik]

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

 

[johnfirth]

well it does say young homosexual men and I'm obviously not young
Got one for Russian brides too I might check that one out

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

So THAT's why I am getting all these "increase your penis" ads when I click on to this site!

Thats quite discriminatory if John is thinking of becoming a chutney ferret.

 

[johnfirth]

No just an interested poster wondering what the hell is going on with the internet these days

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?
