Ad tracking

Why are the ads on this site tracking what sites we have been to? I've been to 3 different sites looking for a new headset and everytime i refresh this tab they change to an ad for that company. What the deal?

cookies... Delete them and you'll go back to the usual garbage. I've got cabela's and at&t, payed my internet and was searching for a gun safe. Doesnt bother me, guess it might bother you since it sees your gay midget porn...

why are the advertisements working correctly! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

but seriously thats how online ads usually work. would you prefer ads for things that are way off of your interests? like maybe tampons?

because that's what ads do.

go to vistaprint, or newegg, or cafepress, and see it happen.

or...would you prefer grape jelly and tampon ads, or whatever else doesn't matter to you being splattered on your screen?

everyone likes jelly and i would think most like grape jelly apple is a close second

I like how the newegg ads give me suggestions on what to buy right after I frickin' buy it. Trying to make me feel better about my purchase? I already feel good, it's newegg and I got an amazing price, most likely.
