I search for something on Amazon and the next day there are ads for that exact product on third party sites. How do they know what I searched for? More importantly, how do I stop this?!<br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What you&#8217;re talking about is known in the industry as &#8220;third party tracking cookies&#8221; and you&#8217;re right, they can be more than a bit weird when you search for something then ads for that very product show up everywhere, on newspaper sites, hobby sites, even your own Gmail account. What the deuce??<\/p>\n<p>The way this works is that there are third party ad servers that these sites are sharing and those use a tracking cookie, a small snippet of text data that uniquely identifies your browser. The ad server software then uses that to track and correlate your activities across multiple sites, whether it&#8217;s a shopping site, news site, sports site, or whatever else you may visit. Imagine that on these sites &#8212; including this one, Ask Dave Taylor &#8212; there are small pieces chopped out that are actually filled by a third party system. Indeed, the ad on the left here is filled through the Google AdSense system, and as I write this, I have no idea what&#8217;s going to show up when you view this page.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly this behavior is benign and I do subscribe to the view that if ad targeting is done well it&#8217;s a benefit, not a problem, but I can also completely understand how you might see things differently. If so, no worries, you can block third party tracking cookies in every modern browser nowadays, whether you&#8217;re on Windows, Mac or even Linux.<\/p>\n<p>For Windows 7, the most popular browser is Internet Explorer (aka &#8220;MSIE&#8221;) and it&#8217;s pretty straightforward to get that set up properly&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Launch Internet Explorer, then look on the top right for the &#8216;gear&#8217; icon.
