Is somebody following me

Since I started rebuilding a couple of years ago I have spent a lot of time on this site. I spend an hour or more everyday here reading and learning and visiting credit card sites. Recently, I have noticed when I go to other sites or just browsing I get a lot of credit card ads on the sites. I can't recall specifically which ones but I was just wondering if this has happened or is happening to anyone else. They may have always been there and I just noticed it but I don't think so.

Just use private browsing if you prefer not leaving a trail.

Definitely cookies.

I get the funniest solicitation from Mint Bills:

Yeah, OK Mint Bills. I'll go ahead and apply for the same card I already have to earn money off of purchases I make at the same rate because it's a card I already have.

I noticed the same thing as well, (ads pretaining to credit card offers) but not until about a month ago.....more so when I'm on FaceBook then anything else.

Just go to the Visa Black Card page and you won't have to worry about all those credit card issuers following you.

Only VISA Black will show up for quite some time, they will buy ahead of everyone to get in your cookies.

Because of this forum, I was getting hounded with credit card adds, but thanks to a wedding venue website link my friend sent, now I get credit card adds and wedding venues adds. Awesome 😒

It's called google Adwords, and it follows you everywhere, ti why I am logged into google account for searching, and turn ads off.

They even follow me to my stock analyst's web site. OMGZ, they are everywhere,
