I have recently been looking at baby swings (to sell one) and filing cabinets. Now every ad banner i see is either for filing cabinets or baby swings!! It bugs the hell out of me that google use this info in this way

Grrr!!!!!

Sorry just ranting away

I think I read somewhere that you get these ad banners if you either have the Google toolbar or use their services.

Well i have the toolbar and have the site as my homepage as its the site i use the most, just think they are cheeky beggars using my search history like that.

That's why this site doesn't much like IE and other browsers. They want you to use Chrome

It's summat to do with cookies and tags and stuff like that. They track your usage and then show ads you might be interested in (or summat).

I've had friends of mine telling me to go onto the google website because there I am and my buddy. It must me at least 2 years ago.

I don't know if it works.
