QVC Ads following me to other websites

Hate the fact that QVC ads pop up on other websites I visit.  I think its pushy, rude and invasive.

Its not just QVC, every website you visit puts cookies on your browser so it knows what may interest you and those ads will be catered to your interests.

I clear my "search history" frequently throughout the day

Clear your cookies but before you do write down all your passwords for sites you frequently visit that you wish to keep your information.

Doesn't anyone use an ad blocker?

You get tracked by all websites you visit.  Try an ad blocker.

This is what happens when you're on the internet. Every company and scammer tracks every move.

 

1. Clear your history, cookies and cache regularly. I do it weekly.

2. Change the pop up settings on your device/s.

3. Download a reputable ad blocker from your app store.

Lately, if I happen to just look at an item on the QVC website,  I receive emails stating that I left it behind.   Very annoying.   I don't like being spied on/followed around like that.

This is internet usage....everywhere.

 

We may not like it, but it is what it is.  If you want to browse, shop, click etc...you need to be proactive and get a blocker.

 

I have Adguard and get NO ads anywhere...nothing.

Get a good adblocker, it's worth every penny but there are also some that are free. 

Last week I was at the hairdresser and we were talking about something, she put me under the dryer and I opened my phone to Facebook. . . the exact thing we had been discussing popped up!
