    This looks like a pretty comprehensive article on privacy settings for multiple platforms: https://privacysavvy.com/security/safe-browsing/disable-ad-tracking/

    Don't ever try to find a replacement motor for a concrete vibrating table....trust me on this.

    Inappropriate advertising

    You keep seeing that exact ad and only that ad, even after you report it? And only on BYC? First, log out of BYC and clear your cookies (and cache if on mobile). If that doesn't work, try another browser to make sure you don't have a hijacker. Depending whether you're using a phone or...

    @Nifty-Chicken Wow, that ad worked! I've been feeling guilty about using an ad blocker and decided that I'll probably hang out here for a while, so I finally remembered to do PFM. 😁 Also, which one of my posts was it that dragged two VIPs in here to survey the land? 😉

    Inappropriate advertising

    Then your parents did their jobs, but now as an adult, you can't play dumb (or sarcastic) when you've already stated that you're (probably) aware of the issue and dismissed someone's feelings. That kind of dismissive attitude, which most of us can get away with in person but isn't appropriate...

    That's just the cats getting together at your house during the day, plotting to take over the world. Nothing to see here, move along. Or your mother in law is living with you, "just until she can...insert this month's excuse". :he

    Really?😒 This is not Reddit. Use an emoji next time. You know darn well that explanation wouldn't fly with a kid, especially when drunk Uncle Bob is wearing that shirt at the family barbeque. If we were in the backyard drinking a beer and you said that, based on what I said about the shirt and...

    Then that means that your privacy settings are good, or you have a hacked zombie computer. (I'm kidding on that last part.)

    Everyone has their own level of comfort. But being a photo, it probably wouldn't get caught by a children's content filter either. Would you like to try to explain what that means to a young child?

    Inappropriate advertising

    It's an ultrasonic dog bark collar. Whoever they hired to make their ads is unscrupulous, and the company can actually get fined for that. Considering how rampant clickbaiting and keyword stuffing have become again, I'm guessing that the government doesn't have the resources and the companies...

    Seriously? It actually said that and you didn't just infer it from the photo because you read Game of Thrones? The photo is disturbing regardless, which, for the uninformed has a name, it's called "clickbait". Google and YouTube (owned by Google, a.k.a. Alphabet) say they're actively...

    Inappropriate advertising

    I considered elaborating on that aspect as an additional explanation for your example ad, but didn't want to trigger anyone's paranoia, because a lot of specific things have to be in place/going on in your life for that particular ad to be triggered by location data. My other explanations are...

    Inappropriate advertising

    Neo is correct, and then some. Ads are based on your search, browsing and all activity history, not just your shopping history. And depending on whether you're using a computer or a phone, it gets worse. (You're only slightly more protected on a computer.) Example: I have a Samsung watch, one...
