It happens to me all the time.

It really doesn't bother me.

If there is something that I need to be concerned about though please let me know.

Thanks!

Well....your husband's computer keeps advertising eskort services. Concerned now?

Re: Scary how they track your every move!

It isn't just FB. I can shop and browse online and then ads from those places show up on my email home page.

I don't really care. They need to advertise something - may as well be what I was looking at.

I get the emails too about my shopping cart at various sites..some will even offer a discount code.

It is the world of technology!

The spam emails crack me up sometimes..I was cleaning out my emails a couple weeks ago and some were lol...I can grow 4"" by Valentines Day and get rid of my herpes in two weeks ..

Are you telling me that if I'm shopping for bras or feminine products, they can show up on FB?

If you sign into google or gmail and then do not sign out, that is another way you are tracked.

Yes.

It doesn't matter what you a surfing...t will show up as advertising on future web pages you visit.

I actually used to sell this kind of adverting. It is getting very popular...it's how FB, blogs and many sites make money.
