Hate those messages from HSN and QVC

that come in your own email that says

"we know U were looking at this" then, try to entice you to come back and buy it.

can't even look at somethig on their website without them tracking you and letting you know they know you were checking on something.

Creepy and threatening. I erase history and cookies daily and run spyware deletion programs.

I recommend a trash email for such junk. You never have to log in and they can just mail themselves silly. Even keep a more obscure one for all the Yahoo’s in life.

I get those emails from lots of companies so swipe-delete-forget, its not worth my time to be concerned about it.

No. It's an option in your email.

To say it's creepy, threatening, or harrassing is just ridiculous. I get them ALL the time from any place I shop and freely provided my email. It's business.

Unless you use a private browser, companies are going to use tracking cookies.

I don't even bother to open them. Just hit delete. Nothing creepy about it.

I agree, I get them form lots of sites, just hit delete. Every so often I will get one that offers an incentive, like if you complete your order you will get $5 off or a % off.

Annoys me like "I saw what you did" type of thing.

Ugh.........

It happens all the time. Trolling your web pages or sites you are on. Facebook is famous for this. That is how they collected data during the last presidential election campaign....and got caught! But...still do it.

They are not the only ones that do this. Companies keep track of what you look at even if I haven't put it in my cart. I love when they send emails stating you left something behind or do you want a second look!

I have noticed recently that I am getting more and more of these emails. I may have looked at something because a poster was saying something strange or funny about a particular item for sale. So when I get an email saying it was something I might want to purchase, that gets old.

The "too bad" thing about it is that it means I will be doing less and less checking on items online unless I know it is something I am really interested in, in order to minimize these emails.

I get them from other retailers, too.

I think if you unsubscribe from all emails other than those pertaining to your orders, this will stop. It worked for me, with all the retailers l order from.

Oh, heck. I even get those from the hardware store and eBay.

Anything you search or pause to look at will follow you and remind you that you looked at it.
