Adverts popping up on GOT

[toffee82]

Seen some people having adverts popping up here for RS stuff. Thought it be be amusing to see what other stuff pops up for people. Mainly as for some reason some bots somewhere thought I might like to do a bit of spearfishing on the side.

Not a clue what it is like.

Who did you report it to?

Google? lol

Advertisers -> Google -> Websites you visit that display any ads.

Advertisers can serve adverts direct to certain websites but generally, Google serve ads based on assumptions around your interests - usually this is your browsing history.

Given you've typed the word Liverpool repeatedly recently, and given the Everton v Liverpool thread, they've assumed you hold an interest in Liverpool.

We can exclude ads, but we're never going to be able to exclude all LFC stuff because you get too many third parties - even the likes of Kitbag etc.

If you hit the x in the top corner, you get the option to report. I'd say it's just to Tailor their adds and hopefully not give me Liverpool FC adds again. I had been googling their antics in the city the morning after the fireworks incident, perhaps that's how the link was made.

I've just got in bed and had to put the corner of the fitted sheet back on because it keeps coming off. I told the wife we need to get a new sheet because this one never fits properly. She gets on her phone and starts browsing for new bedding. A few minutes later she shows me a duvet cover she likes from Debenhams but says it's too expensive. I then pick up my phone, come on GOT and click on the match thread. First advert that comes up is a duvet set from Dunelm Mill. Not only am I spooked that my phone is listening to our conversations but I show my wife the advert and it's the exact same duvet set she has open on her screen that she's just added to her basket.
How? Just how does that happen? No one even mentioned Dunelm Mill out loud? Are GOT adverts targeting my wife's shopping habits? Also, why is she buying a new duvet cover? We only need a new fitted sheet.

That's the price for a single. We've got a super king size.
