Being spied on

[Ihavenojob]

Probably been discussed many times, but yesterday I said to SWMBO that I would pick some beetroot for her to pickle. The beetroot was picked and pickled. Today when I logged on to the PC, loads of adverts for beetroot seeds. Be careful what you say. I don't have alexa or any **** like that, just PC, smart TV and mobiles.

Does this actually work? I tried messing about with settings like this and found that it corrupted everything. I get the feeling that Google, FB etc rely on you signing away your privacy in order for it to exist. In other words, if you say no to anything it has fit and stops functioning full stop.

I use Adblock and never see adverts, especially on this site whereas others seem to. Some sites ask you to disable Adblock to 'support' the site but there’s normally an option to 'continue with Adblock without supporting the site'. I take that option.

In Google you can opt to turn off personalised adverts

I have an Adblocker but it's FB that seems to mostly pick up what is said and spam us with cr@p
