The clever dick who works out your potential buying interests from your browsing history needs smacking! I don't ever browse on Amazon and I only buy straightforward stuff: music, gift cards, maybe inkjet cartridges, and phone leads. Oh, and I have browsed satnavs, but fairly mundane stuff.... Yet they email me with "offers" on women's lingerie, breastfeeding bras, and nappies! Oh, I did buy a T-shirt once. That must of opened the floodgates!
You don't have to browse on Amazon for them to mine your data, unless you make the right choices re cookies and marketing data whenever you enter a new site. That includes Google, so every search you or other users of your computer make...
I don't share the account but you could be right. Maybe - somehow - they are mixing up histories! It is all getting too weird for me! I just went to buy a Sheryl Crow CD. Normally, I play the CD on my computer and record the tracks onto mp3 so that I've got it on my Google drive and therefore, everywhere. So I go to buy the mp3 files directly and they are more expensive than getting the CD posted to me! The point of mp3 is that there is no posting, no hardware, and the buyer has to use their internet connection to download the files... but getting the CD posted to you is cheaper! Odd, but I'll take the CD Thank You!
Have a word with yourself. Jeff Bozos can supply anything you want. You don't get to be as rich as him without being involved in "stuff"
Gonna have a look at negligees, bras, and sexy knickers now on Amazon! I'm getting fascinated by what that leads Amazon to think that I'm interested in! Google used to think that I was fascinated by womens' incontinence, so genuinely interested to see what Amazon conclude! I'll search "Ducati" and see if they conclude that I want a Honda!
If other people use your computer, they all share the info searched for or looked at on the 'system'. So someone has been looking for those items, they don't show up just because of your age group or other data they have on you.
That is why I use a Chromebook. Everything is separate when you want it to be. Also... They can show you things that Other people searched for when they searched for the same things. And they know where your IP address is located... so they can also add things that others in your area searched for. PLUS They can add things for a thousand other reasons. like Age Geographic area Season Just what is is selling well Things that others in your social circle search for (Yes they know) What they are PAID to promote according to the algorithms Things they make the most profit from Now lets get to what else you clicked on without searching for... Is your name the same in many places... Same email address? Then those searches and views of web pages are included too. And then... if they find that they showed you something random, and you clicked it... OR When you tried to close that add that meant nothing, but it actually opened... They know that too and it and the ads on THAT page will be added to your profile.
